The Ch’nook Cousins workshop held on Tues, Dec 8, was a great success for the UFV School of Business. The UFV School of Business, along with 24 other institutions in British Columbia, have taken part in the Ch’nook Indigenous Business Education program, an initiative that “promotes and encourages business participation for aboriginals in their area.” Along with current Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) students, 33 aboriginal high school students from the Fraser Valley region were given the opportunity to learn some tricks, tips, and information for aspiring business students.
This year’s Ch’nook scholars, UFV BBA students Keenan Beavis and Nicholas Point, shared valuable insights on what it means to be selected as Ch’nook scholar, how it has impacted on their lives, and how they would like to see others succeed.
The workshop participants covered a variety of topics, including budgeting, scholarship, and time management. They were also given the opportunity to learn about the various programs offered by the School of Business, and what jobs are available post-graduation. Dr. Frank Ulbrich, director of the School of Business , was actively involved with the execution of the event, and hosted the event on the Chilliwack campus at Canada Education Park.
