WORK EXPERIENCE

First Credit Union and Insurance is partnering with the Comox Valley Secondary High Schools to offer the
#CULEAD Young Leaders Program for up to three graduating grade 12 students. This program gives
students practical work experience and mentoring from successful business professionals on a wide range of
topics that will help to prepare them as they look towards their future careers. Upon the successful
completion of the program, students will receive a cash scholarship of $1200. Over 80 local students have
participated in this program in our Powell River community since it started in 2004 and we are excited to
bring the opportunity to this region. More information in the work experience office.
