Consider the Benefits of Dual Credits

In the coming decade, most new jobs in B.C. will require some form of postā€‘secondary education, with projections showing that 78% of job openings will need training beyond high school . Students who take dual credit are 7% more likely to graduate on time and 16% more likely to move directly into a B.C. public postā€‘secondary institution after high school.
