Fall 2015British Columbia & Yukon | Colombie-Britannique et Yukon

As students change gears and prepare for post-secondary life and the job market, worries about GPAs and extracurriculars tend to creep in and force them to

and all too often, French gets left by the wayside, seen as an unnecessary hassle. However, with Canadian Parents forFrench BC & Yukon’s latest project, Where Are They Now?, we?will be able to prove to students, parents, and decision makersalike, that learning French, far from being a drain to the GPA, is an asset to a student’s resumé and to their long-term success.

Languages, we have partnered in this project with Radio-Canada, Canadian Parents for French Alberta and CanadianHeritage to learn where and how French program graduates

-ism after high school. Thus far, we have heard from over

bilingual education!Prior to this project, we hadn’t been able to formally hear

from these graduates to truly evaluate the post-graduation impact of second language learning. Acknowledging the greatunheard stories that they can share with current and future students, we have collected some of these grads’ stories of life after high school so that we can show students in French programs some of the many possibilities that their educationcan offer.

“Graduates of French programs include Olympians, journalists, engineers, Ministers, teachers and so muchmore. For many, learning French created some uniqueopportunity: be it socially, culturally or professionally. We launched the WhereAreTheyNow.ca project to catch up withFrench program graduates from BC and Yukon, capture theirexperiences, and share their stories to help inspire current students,” – Canadian Parents for French BC & YK President Patti Holm, on the impetus behind the project.
