Strategies for the Post-Secondary Search, NOW is the time to prepare ….

University & College Admissions Check –University: –College: –Apprenticeship: Look for cut off marks, prerequisites, new programs offered, limited enrolment programs, coop programs, financial opportunities, addition requirements, housing.
