The BVCAA would like to congratulate the more than 400 students who will graduate at Bow Valley College's Winter Graduation today. Welcome to the Alumni community!
The following is a short profile about Nova Lee DoBush, the valedictorian for Business and Industry; originally posted as a Media Advisory by the BVC Marketing and Communications department:
Nova Lee DoBush, like so many other Canadians, lost her job in 2009 due to the recession. Mother of two, she turned to Bow Valley College (BVC) in order to upgrade her existing skills and embark on a new career path to support her family.
On Monday, January 11, DoBush and more than 400 other students from Bow Valley College will take part in graduation ceremonies at Jack Singer Concert Hall. They'll receive their diplomas and certificates knowing that they're well equipped with job-ready skills and training.
DoBush begins a practicum in February as a Hospital Unit Clerk, joining a sector that has seen strong job growth. In its December 2009 labour force statistics, the Government of Alberta reported that the health care area has experienced some of the highest employment gains in the province.
"Bow Valley College has a Hospital Unit Clerk program that worked for me", DoBush says. "It gave me the opportunity to upgrade my skills quickly and join the workforce right away." Six months after enrolling in her program, she will represent her classmates as valedictorian for the Business and Industry department.
Students from programs in Academic Upgrading (Valedictorian: Kathleen Israel) and Health and Community Care (Valedictorian: Emily Hart) will also graduate on January 11.
