HIGH SCHOOL graduates who are unsure of their next
step in life can spend six months defining career goals and
honing social skills at the West Vancouver Finishing School.

* Billing her school as ‘‘not just
another program (for students) to
put on the shelf,’’? owner Mai
Mackenzie says she sees. people
graduating from high school lack-
ing the skills that give them the
confidence and know-how to go
out and get that all-important first
job.

Mackenzie established the
finishing school in October 1986 to
offer graduates an environment
that would allow them to “bridge
the gap”? between leaving school
and entering the work force.

“‘not interested in numbers, just
the quality of teaching,’’ and in-
tends to keep the enrolment low so
she can get to know the students
well,
