*Congratulations Garden River Graduates and thank you stakeholders

Congratulations to the first graduating class of our Garden River campus!
The staff, students and faculty would like to extend our appreciation of your contribution to the success of the first Paramedic program at CTS Canadian Career College Garden River Campus.
It is not often we are given an opportunity to make such a profound impact on someone’s future but this education, in particularly one that contributes to saving lives, will not only help the graduate but also their community.
We understand there may already be more than five graduates who have secured work in their field. Congratulations!
This is a testament to the cooperation and partnership between the participating First Nations Communities, Garden River, the Indian Friendship Centre in Sault Ste. Marie, Employment Connection and Fire Chief, Steve Nolan. This couldn’t have happened without your contribution. Thank you.

Law Society of Upper Canada approves CTS Canadian Career College Paralegal diploma program

CTS Canadian Career College is pleased to announce its Paralegal Diploma Program has been accredited by the Law Society of Upper Canada.

Ontario is the first Canadian jurisdiction to regulate paralegals to benefit consumers of legal services and to recognize the contributions paralegals make to the justice system. “This regulation will protect the public and support our graduates,” says Carlos Carvalho, President of the college, “Accreditation insures standards of excellence for a program’s curriculum, faculty and the facilities. It is also another testimonial of the competency of our graduates!”

“We at CTS Canadian Career College strive to compliment our graduates’ diploma with recognition from industry through certifications, accreditations and regulation.” says Brad Newman Educational Consultant for CTS. “The advice contributed from industry became the cornerstone in the development of our programs. Accreditation has become a continuation of our relationship with industry, and ensures we offer our students current, relevant and comprehensive curriculum.”

With regulation, licensed paralegals are now held to the same high standard of professional conduct as lawyers and must pass a licensing examination, and carry liability insurance. They are now providing a range of important legal services within a recognized, regulated profession.

This career is fast-paced and rewarding. Paralegals are skilled in offering advice, preparation and representation to clients in small claims and provincial offences court. They deal with minor criminal offences, as well as appearing before most tribunals. The Canada and Ontario Job Futures sites list the Paralegal’s job prospects as “good”, the highest rating. Graduates may find opportunities in law firms, government offices and corporate legal departments or chose to become self-employed.

 

*CTS Canadian Career College is pleased to announce the winner of “The Fastest Typist in North Bay” contest

The college held qualifications at the centre court of the Northgate Shopping Centre during the last week of April and attracted over 50 participants.
On Saturday, May 1 twelve finalists vied for the coveted title with Laurie Bourgelas emerging victorious with a top speed of 85 words per minute!
Laurie’s reward for this feat was $500 cash and a $500 bursary toward a diploma program at CTS Canadian Career College.

“Typing is a critical part of almost every job”, says Brad Newman, Communication Specialist at the college, “obviously it is a big part of some administration careers but also policing, computer networking and health fields… they all have to complete reports! The faster they can complete this task of their job, the faster they can get back to the primary function of their career! We wanted to see just how fast people are typing these days. We even dug out an old Underwood manual typewriter for people to try!”

The contest was so successful they may hold it in Sudbury and Barrie where CTS also has campuses. “Maybe CTS Canadian Career College could crown the fastest typist… in THE NORTH!”

* Grad helps where ever she can...
One career college student has been busy volunteering with the Canadian Red Cross. Lori Majer, a student in the Addictions Interventions Counseling program at CTS Canadian Career College, went to all of the high schools in Barrie to explain the Red Cross’ relief efforts in Haiti. She al...so visited an elementary school in Bradford to make a presentation on how students can help. In about 2.5 hours, Majer helped raise $380.26 for the Canadian Red Cross mission in Haiti.

* Our North Bay campus placed second in the team category at the fund raising walk for the North Bay General Hospital. Photos of the event can be viewed here.

* CTS Canadian Career College is very pleased to announce our Pharmacy Technician Program has been awarded the status of Provincial Accreditation by the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs for a three year term 2009-2012.
