School College Work Initiative (SCWI) Since its inception in 1997, the SCWI has contributed to the goal of increasing the number of students who graduate from secondary school and providing a seamless transition from secondary school to postsecondary education by supporting collaborative activities and programs. Depuis sa création en 1997, l’IJECT a contribué à augmenter le nombre de diplômés des écoles secondaires et à offrir une transition ininterrompue entre les paliers secondaire et postsecondaire en appuyant des activités et programmes concertés.
