Partners in Employment receive a host of benefits through PEP. The key advantage to the program, however, is access to CGA students and members looking for outstanding career opportunities. That access comes in several forms and through a variety of media. In today's market, that access is a valuable commodity. The number of PEP opportunities and the frequency you choose to use these channels is entirely determined by your need.

No matter which way you choose to reach these highly trained professionals, your company receives the benefit of third-party recognition from the largest and fastest-growing accounting body in B.C. Through PEP, your company will be on campus, online, and best of all, on the minds of sought-after accounting professionals.
