The BCIT Student Innovation Challenge is an annual competition allowing British Columbia Institute of Technology students to launch entrepreneurial ideas, inventions, or applied research projects. E.B. Horsman and Son is “Visionary” sponsor of the challenge. The goal is to create an inclusive space for innovation, encouraging students to turn their bright ideas into business plans and prototypes of commercial products.

E.B. Horsman and Son also supports BCIT students throughout their education in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology program, Automation and Instrumentation option, with two BCIT awards: an Entrance award, to be awarded in fall 2018, and a Graduating Achievement award, which will be granted in June 2018.

Supporting programs like this “will help us with challenges around talent management, succession planning and general market awareness in both British Columbia and Alberta,” the company says.

These are just two examples of E.B. Horsman & Son’s community initiatives. See more here: http://ebhorsman.com/careers-investing-in-community.php
