High school students are invited to go online to take part in the RBC “Big Chat Challenge”, being held to prepare students for post-secondary education.
The RBC Foundation has provided an incredible commitment to launch and sustain the national Post-Secondary Readiness Strategy. The national strategy combines, refines and builds upon success of post-secondary pilot programs currently being offered by local agencies.
The Post-Secondary Readiness Strategy supports post-secondary readiness and educational success for youth, providing them with the confidence to achieve more in their education.
RBC Future Launch is hosting an online event for youth during Mentoring Month this January and is thrilled to invite students to the RBC “Big Chat Challenge”.
