Make a Future
Paperless Application System for ALL Employee Groups
Make a Future (www.makeafuture.ca) is a paperless, electronic application system. It’s green, easy to use and free to all school district employees.
During the 2008-09 school year the Human Resources Department successfully implemented the Make a Future internal application system with the CTA employee group. Teaching vacancies are now posted through the Make a Future website and teachers apply electronically on vacancies with the touch of a button.
Human Resources is pleased to announce that effective APRIL 1ST 2010, job postings for all employee groups in the Chilliwack School District will be posted through the Make a Future website.
This change applies to permanent, temporary and casual employees including
- CTA
- CUPE
- Management
- CAA
Any employee who wishes to apply on vacancies for the 2010-11 school year will be required to use the Make a Future internal application system by registering as an internal applicant and applying electronically through the Make a Future website.
More information regarding this important change will be published in the Superintendent’s Memo in the upcoming months; check your staff room for posters and brochures that outline the change in more detail. Talk to your principal, supervisor or union rep for more information.
The district will also provide training opportunities for employees who need assistance with registering and creating an electronic application package.

Full-day kindergarten will be available for up to half of B.C.’s eligible students in September 2010. By September 2011, full-day kindergarten will be available across the province. It is still up to parents to decide whether to enrol their children in kindergarten, but by the 2011/12 school year it will be available to all who want it.
