CPABC Fall Recruit Program
O
n September 4 and 5, 2014, over 1,100 students and recent grads
from all across British Columbia flocked to the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel and Vancouver Convention Centre to attend the
profession’s annual Mid-Size Firms & Industry and National Firms
recruiting events in hopes of landing an articling position with one of
the participating approved training offices.
The Mid-Size Firms & Industry Recruiting Event took place on
September 4, and featured representatives from Crowe MacKay,
D+H Group, Davidson & Company, DMCL, James Stafford, KNV,
Manning Elliott, MNP, the Office of the Auditor General of Canada,
Smythe Ratcliffe, TELUS, and Wolrige Mahon. The National Firms
Recruiting Event was held the following day, and featured reps from
BDO, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Grant Thornton, KPMG, and PwC.
Recruiting events also took place on Vancouver Island and in the BC
Interior in mid-September, and these events were very well attended.
As is the case every year, the event days were followed by an application and interview period, and then a one-week offer period.
Our thanks to everyone who participated in the fall recruit, and our
congratulations to the students who received articling offers!
