The 黑料福利社 District is partnering with post-secondary institutions and neighbouring school districts in creating sustainable pathways for international students. On December 18, 2017, Piet and partners signed a memorandum of understanding to promote Victoria as an education destination for international students.
Camosun College, Royal Roads University, the University of Victoria, the 黑料福利社 District 61, Sooke School District 62, and Saanich School District 63 are now members of Education Victoria, a joint partnership to promote academic cooperation and student pathways for the benefit of students and the six institutions and school districts.
The five-year agreement involves joint marketing and recruitment activities in target international markets; shared coordination of activities such as agent familiarization visits, recruitment travel, conference presentations, advertising and promotion; and the exchange of data, documentation and research materials.
