October Update

Dear ,

October was a good month for BECA.

Translation: in October, no students deserted their technical career studies. (In January, 43 students began their courses and 38 -- or about 88% -- are still hanging in there.)

Because the BECA program is only two years old, the desertion rate remains our best indicator of success.

Ultimately, I look forward to displacing this indicator with the employment rate of BECA scholarship recipients.

Well, I guess I'm not looking forward to it because I'm not sure how many of the students are going to bust their butts to find a job when their studies end.

Case in point. Seven students graduated in late summer. And all seven are still looking. (And in some cases I use the word "looking" generously).

The tweaking shall continue.

Thank you for your support and belief in what we are doing.
