Hello egycan271,

Thank you for your interest in TRU & our RT program.

The job market is very good in BC overall. It is always best in the Metro Vancouver region for our graduates as the majority of large hospitals are in the area & they are the biggest employers of new RT graduates. I will have specific graduate placement numbers by mid may of this year (grads at end of April).

2010 = virtually 100% placement after a few months post grad ( 80-90 placement at time of grad)

2007-9 = more jobs that grads

Starting base salary = $26/ hr ( = approx 49,000 / yr) ; increases with shift differentials,student mentoring, stat pay

Regards,

Dave Sheets
