NOW? WHY CCP's50 STUDENT

As we mark two years, as well as the significant milestone of placing our 50th student with a local non-profit, our team set out to evaluate the program’s impact on both our students and partner organizations It was important to understand key elements of the program that make it a success and to identify opportunities for improvement. Furthermore, we believe the program presents an opportunity for other institutions and organizations in the region to learn from, and replicate, a model with a lasting positive impact.

"Columbia College has given me a lot when it comes to employment or volunteer opportunities, academic advising and even scholarships I have always been passionate about the administrative sector and NGO’s, and it is because of Columbia College that now I am a part of YWCA Metro Vancouver, a nonprofit organization that stands for women and girl empowerment, tracing its steps in major cities of Canada. Both the College and the organization have been flexible and accommodating with my scheduling which is extremely helpful given that I’m a full-time student. I can’t wait to be a part of such a noble cause and I’m grateful to the college for giving me such an opportunity in helping me enhance my portfolio as well as contributing to the society "
