Long-time Delta School District employee Marijke Merrick has been given an honourary membership from the Career Education Society for her work in enhancing career opportunities for students.
As career development coordinator with the Delta School District, Merrick ensures students are given the chance to explore different careers, prepare for further education and training in a career area, and get a head start on technical training.
She oversees a wide variety of career programs available for students, including the Accelerated Credit Enrollment Industry Training (Ace It) and the Career Technical Consortium that allows students to gain post-secondary credits in areas other than skilled trades.
