When you are over 100 years old, it’s ok to get the spa treatment.
And it’s certainly ok to shorten your name – afterall you have the street cred.
Now called Sprott-Shaw College instead of Community College, the institute of higher learning has undergone a wholesale makeover.
There is also a new website, logo and colour pattern, and campus re-designs indicating how dedicated the college is to growing and evolving despite being over a century old – 109 years of age to be exact.
Sprott Shaw College has also adopted a slogan “Learning with purpose since 1903” as it continues to provide additional flexibility and service for students.
Proof points include more industry approved courses, training to meet national standards with global relevance, rolling start dates, smaller class sizes, streamlined admissions requirements and teaching that embraces innovative technologies.
“We want to capitalize on more than a century of delivering relevant education while bringing to life our dedication to providing a fast, focused and direct way to a new job or career while being a warm, inclusive, close-knit family,” said company president Patrick Dang.
“Most of all, we want to show that we offer credible, relevant and respected education delivered in a modern way and that we are not slow moving and bureaucratic.”
He says current and future business, trades, tourism and hospitality management and healthcare students will attend classes in a brighter, more spacious college environment with many campus locations being completely modernized with the new colours, logo, openness and accessibility.
“We are focusing on the journey and the destination,” Patrick Dang says. “We are providing an option that is different from those offered by both public and private colleges.”
Innovative programs include those enabling quick transition from high school to college, credible industry certified training including an 18-month practical nursing curriculum meeting national standards, a Global Career Centre that has placed more than 1,000 graduates directly into jobs and a co-operative employment program that has up to a 75 per cent hiring rate.
With thirteen campuses across BC and the Lower Mainland, and with numerous career courses, Sprott Shaw offers much flexibility for students, whether just out of high school or mature and with families. Whether you are looking for Surrey nursing courses or an Abbotsford accounting program, Sprott Shaw has options for you.
