Course One 2009 Results

Okay, now that BECA Course One is officially over for 2009, I have some numbers for those of you who pay attention to that kind of stuff.

• 123 students started Course One in 2009
• 97 (or 79% of them) finished
  
• Of those 97 graduates, 65 have applied for a technical career (phase two of the BECA program)

That means 67% of the students who finished the initial screening course have applied for a second scholarship.

That's a lot more than I expected.

The next step is to sort through all of these applications and start putting them on the Web. We're doing that now and we expect to start posting profiles at the end of August.
