NOTE: Prospective students are advised that, due to the small size of the West Kootenay economy, only a very low percentage of Selkirk Electrical Entry graduates find apprenticeships locally. The majority find employment outside the Kootenays in the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, the Okanagan, Northeast BC, and Alberta. Employment success is greatly enhanced if graduates are willing to relocate.
