Sprott-Shaw Community College
Duperron used to work at Sprott-Shaw Community College. He purchased the educational institution with a partner in 1991. At the time, the school consisted of one classroom with 26 students. During his tenure, it grew to 24 campuses in British Columbia, as well as multiple satellite schools, and began to include degree programs. Duperron also spearheaded the innovative Class Act scholarship program.
Class Act Canada
Class Act Canada is a program that was devised to showcase British Columbia as the best place to live and learn. The Class Act scholarship program challenged entrants to upload a 60-90 second video. They focused on “What would I do to improve my community with a degree or a diploma from Sprott-Shaw College”. The 10 winning students came from countries that included Peru, Ukraine, India, Korea, Philippines and Canada, and were selected by judges. That was after more than 7.7 million votes were cast worldwide between September and December 2009.
Duperron currently serves on the Residential Construction Industry Training of British Columbia (RCITO) board and on the Executive Board, as the Treasurer, of the Professional Builders Institute of British Columbia (PBIBC). PBIBC’s mission is to “increase the professionalism of residential building, through education, training, and certification. They collaborate with BC Housing to develop a recommendation and process for minimum qualification standards required for certification and licensing”. RCITO defines the overall industry training needs in British Columbia, establishes training and occupational standards, promotes training programs, quantifies training results, and sponsors new apprentices. RCITO specifically concentrates on five industries in the residential construction sector that include new home building and renovation; log and timber building; forced air, hydronic and geothermal residential heating; aboriginal housing; and residential maintenance. Duperron has served on this board as the Chair of the Accreditation Committee for over 10 years.
