Applied Learning Experience

Business - Accounting students were given a new opportunity for experiential learning to help them expand the knowledge and skills they gained from their coursework. Students participated in the Canada Revenue Agency’s Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) this year - they used the latest tax software to prepare and E-File tax returns for students.  These students gained practical experience in tax preparation and developed important skills to benefit their future careers while giving back to our Sault College community.
