The purpose of this proposed increase is to develop and implement a staff retention strategy to adapt to the current labour market needs and demands in order to continue to maintain and increase the quality of SA services. These funds will be used to increase the salaries of staff who are below market as well as ensure professional development opportunities for staff.
You voted No: 600 opposed and 377 in favour, 977 votes cast
The purpose of this proposed increase is to support a project started by Executives in previous years and adopted by last year’s Executives to sponsor one new refugee student per year. BCITSA covers the living expenses of one new student and half of the living expenses of the previous year’s student with BCIT covering tuition costs. Of these funds, 72.8% will go directly towards supporting 1.5 students and the remaining 27.2% will cover a staff portion to oversee this program.
