Contractor Recognition
Our contractors play a key role in providing a top-notch learner experience. To acknowledge their contributions, CPAWSB seeks to recognize high-performing contractors who demonstrate a remarkable commitment to their work as PEP educators through our Contractor Recognition Program.
Award Criteria
This list is not exhaustive—there are many factors that contribute to an award-worthy educator! The criteria we consider when selecting our award recipients include the following:
The School’s values
Do they exemplify our values in their interactions with learners, peers, and School staff?
Who is eligible?
Any of our education contractors who regularly interact with learners and assist in delivering the CPA Professional Education Program are eligible.
Selection Process
Near the end of each year, School staff will conduct a thorough review to identify any suitable nominees from our current contractor pool, taking into consideration our award criteria and other relevant factors. We may select up to two award winners per year for each of our contractor types, with recipients being announced in the spring.
