Fleming Grad Travels Abroad
Fleming graduate Jason McCrindle always knew he wanted to visit Australia. When it came time for the placement portion of the Recreation and Leisure Services program, he seized the opportunity to travel abroad. McCrindle completed his placement, from February to May this year at Simply Skydive, a skydiving business located near Sydney, Australia. During his placement he was involved in aspects of marketing, advertising and promotion of the business.Prior to his placement, McCrindle had never been skydiving. To be able to work at Simply Skydive, he had to obtain his Australia Federation Sky Diving Certification, which allows him to jump solo anywhere in the world. Now that’s he’s certified and an experienced skydiver, McCrindle says it’s one of the best things he’s ever done. Mr. McCrindle has not stopped pursuing his goals now that he’s working full-time. He would like to return to Canada when Simply Skydive opens a drop zone in British Columbia in 2008.
