Bookkeeping program proposed

By NUNATSIAQ NEWS

The Baffin Regional Chamber of Commerce plans to push for the development of a bookkeeping program offered through Nunavut Arctic College.

The end goal would be to have a bookkeeper in every community, so that small businesses like local outfitters have someone to help keep their finances straight, said Bob Long from the chamber.

The decision came from meetings held during the summer. The next step will be to hire a consultant to develop the curriculum, which could then be pitched to the Nunavut Arctic College as a course.

Other initiatives of the chamber include plans to resurrect the Baffin Business Directory by the trade show next spring, and to plan a rotating trade show through the communities that would target high school students, encouraging them to become business people, not bureaucrats. It would be held every two months over the next two years.

“It would be like a traveling road show,” Long said.
