Demand for Training Fuels Expansion in BC

Richmond, BC (Vocus) March 10, 2010

Students interested in pursuing a career in health care or business have a new training option in the Lower Mainland. CDI College – Canada’s leading private vocational trainer – has opened a campus in Richmond, BC (see http://www. cdicollege. ca/British_Columbia/Richmond/Campus (http://www. cdicollege. ca/British_Columbia/Richmond/Campus)). The college is accepting applications for a range of programs including Practical Nursing, Event Coordinator and Rehabilitation Assistant.

“With our newest campus, CDI College will continue to meet the demand for skilled workers by local employers as well as the increased demand for skills-based training in the Lower Mainland,” says Bohdan Bilan, Vice President of Academics for CDI College. “Because the programs are developed with input from professionals within specific industries, our students learn to master the current tools, techniques and technologies used in the job market from industry-experienced instructors.”

Other programs available at the new campus include Business Administration, Medical Office Assistant and Resident Care Attendant.

The new campus is the fifth CDI location in the Greater Vancouver region and the 14th across Canada. According to Bilan, the college’s reputation has helped feed this growth.

“As the business and health care sectors constantly evolve, employers in these fields will continue to seek out the candidates with both the credentials and the practical abilities to do the job,” says Bilan. “CDI College graduates have been successful in meeting the employment requirements of all these industries.”

The Richmond campus of CDI College is now open. Applications are currently being accepted for all programs. More information is available at http://cdicollege. ca (http://cdicollege. ca).
