News from the Professional Programs
Kudos to the Banking Students
The week of May 26 brought good news to most of the students who wrote the Institute of Canadian Bankers (ICB) exam on Investment and Tax Planning. Their performance on the exam was outstanding. Our banking students in the Professional Bridging Program are working hard to complete the required courses in order to obtain employment in the financial industry in Canada and to learn about finances from a Canadian perspective. Their recent great results reflect their dedication to their studies. Congratulations to our banking students and best wishes to them for continued success.
