Our Story
The Make a Future HR Portal is a joint project among the BC Public School Employers’ Association and BC School Superintendents Association. We aim to provide BC school districts actionable knowledge and timely information on current recruitment practices to help attract employees to BC school districts. Drawing from our team of experienced human resources professionals and knowledge of the needs of BC school districts, we’ve strategically developed and curated relevant HR content that will be useful to district HR staff at all levels.
The idea of the portal was borne from a recommendation made by the Minister’s Task Force on Immediate Recruitment and Retention Challenges with the aim of enhancing and promoting effective practices in recruitment and retention.
Make a Future was created in 2008 by the BC Public School Employers’ Association as a joint project among the BC Ministry of Education and the 60 boards of education. We provide recruitment and marketing services and technology to support BC’s public school districts, First Nations schools, BC-certified offshore schools, and Federation of Independent Schools’ member organizations.
