Okanagan high school students Experience OC
This years’ Experience 黨ýevents across 黨ýcampuses continue this week with events in Vernon (May 8) and Penticton (May 9).
黨ýcampuses will welcome more than 750 local high school students from Okanagan Valley school districts as students will get a firsthand look at college life. 黨ýteams will be helping guide students through the maze of career options available beyond high school.
Experience 黨ýis designed to address one of the most pressing challenges faced by students today: the uncertainty of where to begin their career journey. By providing a taste of various academic disciplines and engaging with professionals in these fields, Experience 黨ýhelps students discover their passions and potential career paths that allow them the opportunity to study in a place they know and love.
"With over 500 students from Vernon and 250 from Penticton registered, we are thrilled at the opportunity to open up new pathways for our future leaders," said Mehgan Cabrera, Associate Director Recruitment & Enrolment Management at OC, who noted previous events were held in Kelowna and Salmon Arm.
“While 黨ýis renowned for our cutting-edge business programs, well-compensated trades programming, and comprehensive health care careers, we are eager to broaden students’ horizons by showcasing the diverse array of other educational opportunities available here.”
Join us at Experience 黨ýto discover the breadth of innovative and exciting programs that can shape the future of every student.
"Our mission is to illuminate the wide array of career possibilities that many students are often unaware of—from Sustainable Building Technology to Water Engineering Technology, Kinesiology, Animation, Food, Wine, Tourism and Computer Science," said Cabrera.
