WELCOME

The Centre for Experiential Learning & Student Engagement supports the Student Affairs strategic plan goals of enhancing life-enriching and career building opportunities. All of our programs pursue the desire to exemplify and demonstrate VIU’s core values of understanding, connection, and commitment

The programs, services, and learning opportunities provided through the CEL are inherently linked to VIU’s Strategic Retention Model, which focuses on student progression, including retention and graduation Strategies in the model are based on the belief that three motivational factors significantly affect students’ perspectives in reaching their goals, which include self-efficacy, sense of belonging, and perceptions of curriculum The CEL connects and engages with learners via meaningful learning opportunities through in and out-of-classroom experiences that help build on those motivational factors. It is an absolute privilege that we all get to do this type of work as we journey with students.

This report will highlight some of the metrics and milestones to inform the narrative of the activity associated with Goal 3 of the VIU Student Affairs Foundational Plan called: Enter with Curiosity; Leave with Confidence 2022-2027: Amplify VIU’s Work-integrated Learning & Career Exploration

“We will build on and improve experiential learning, career exploration, and skill development opportunities to position you (the student) to successfully launch and sustain a satisfying and successful career.”

It has been another full and exciting year, with change and growth by adding new team members across all CEL Departments We have seen an increase of students in 2022 participating in WIL experiences through internships and co-ops, a return to some international work-integrated learning experiences and a steady return to in-person experiences

The Office of Co-curricular Engagement & Learning (OCCEL) brought back the Vancouver Island Leadership Conference in person The theme this past year was Leading the Future Together The conference included 11 different speakers from diverse backgrounds, including Olympic athlete Lanni Marchant, author and TEDx speaker Nelson Soh, and Paul Underhill, founder of Rumble Supershake It also included a career expo and numerous activities students could get involved in, including yoga, meditation, journaling, foraging, dragon boating and a visit to Saysutshun (Newcastle Island) for a guided cultural tour and a traditional cedar workshop. There were 125 students registered for the conference.

In 2021 the CEL announced that we received a one-time contribution of funding, which concluded in August 2022 as part of Phase 2 of the Co-op and WIL Initiative from the Provincial Government This allowed us to support student and employer engagement and provide career services with the launch of the VIU Career Studio and Career Peer Facilitator Program which has created some buzz on campus You can find the Career Studio in Building 255 The Career Studio opened in August 2022 and had an official grand opening during Career Month kicking off the Career Connections week with employers and students.

With Gratitude:

I extend my sincerest gratitude to all our partners, both on campus through different programs, faculties, departments, and with industry in the community. Thank you for building connections that allow our students to work towards launching into a meaningful career If you want to get connected, involved and pursue partnership opportunities, please email cel@viu ca, and we will connect with you

Focusing on Graduate Attributes

The VIU Graduate Attributes & Program Learning Outcomes are utilized in all department areas within the CEL & Student Engagement. The focus is on having students recognize and communicate the competencies for all three pillars: (Literacies, Intellectual and practical skills, and Civic engagement) through their experiential learning opportunities and being able to capture and professionally communicate these attributes as they move through their career and workplace transition.

Madelaine Jones, a third-year Computer Science student, has excelled in a diverse range of co-op work experiences, both in the public and private sectors. Her experience includes working at a local start-up, the federal government, and Amazon, where she made significant contributions and positively represented VIU students. As a woman in tech, Madelaine has exemplified equity, diversity, and inclusion in the industry, inspiring other female students pursuing STEM careers

Madelaine's open-mindedness and adaptability to different company cultures and environments have led to the impressive growth and development of her technical and professional skills. She is also a top student advocate for work-integrated learning. She has delivered a code review workshop last year and participated in Peer-Supported Learning, demonstrating her ongoing willingness to help her peers. Madeline has been nominated for CEWIL and ACE-WIL student of the year.

We believe that education doesn't just happen in the classroom; learning comes most powerfully through reallife experiences. We will therefore provide more opportunities for life-enriching and career-building opportunities such as co-ops, work placements and internships, and will continue to develop our suite of upskilling and re-skilling programs for learners throughout their careers.

Recreation and Tourism Managment

This job [gave] me the opportunity to engage with members of the community, especially at the lake because the lifeguards are in such close contact with the public. This also gave me valuable teamwork experience because I was in a new environment and had to learn how to work with other guards in a completely different environment "

The biggest surprise of her co-op was “learning about the scope of the BC Wildfire Service,” she [Nadia] says. “Until I was employed with them, I’d never really thought much about everything they do, but it’s a lot The science behind wildfire management is fascinating, and I loved learning about how and why certain decisions are made. I’m by no means an expert now, but I definitely learned a lot.

Hospitality Student Experience

At Disney World I had a chance to meet and work with people from countries I never heard of and discovered interesting new things about how coming from different cultures can affect the way we eat, live, work, and enjoy life My interpersonal skills significantly improved as I started opening up with strangers, as I started talking to them and getting used to working with them and be able to adjust myself in order to fit in a new environment The time I spent at Disney also taught me a lot on flexibility and critical thinking skills as not everything is going to happen exactly as planned so being able to make wise decisions when unexpected things occur is vital in a people-oriented industry like hospitality Overall, I do think I have gained a lot of things that will help my selfdevelopment personally and professionally.

I think I managed to learn a lot about how to treat and talk to people from different backgrounds, cultures, ethnicities, educational levels, etc. I do believe that one doesn’t need to know about as many cultures as possible, it’s a good thing to learn about new people and their cultures but the important thing is you must learn how to treat people with respect as a human being first.

Disney is a big corporation, and I was able to learn a lot from them about professionalism in terms of workplace etiquette, culture, language, and communication I learned that showing up on time for work is one of the most important factors indicating that you’re a responsible employee Being a Disney cast member, how you present yourself is how people see Disney through you which is why I have always been careful with my words, my actions, and every compliment I gave to the guests At Disney, we’re “Cast Member” because while at work, I will have to be “on show” which means whenever I’m able to be seen by guests, I will have to keep the “magic” going by taking care of guests and never show negativity

One piece of advice I would give to give to Disney program’s future co-op students: “I know that having a chance to work for Disney will enhance your skills, your resume, and your knowledge about one of the most famous hospitality companies so don’t miss out the chances that you get to learn; however, don’t forget to also have fun, to enjoy every moment you have at Disney because the experiences and the friendships you have there are going to be lifelong”

The co-op program has given me a chance to try new things, live in a different place, meet new people, and learn more about new cultures. After having this unique experience as a co-op student, I am motivated to become more professional and eager to learn new knowledge to work for big companies. The program has also fueled my passion as an international hospitality professional who provides excellent service and creates unique and lasting relationships with guests coming from around the world.

Success Story

Joe’s story

I was working on my resume in the VIU cafeteria and saw a booth advertising the Career Studio, so I asked for some information and found I could go in person to reach out for help. It had been so many years since I applied for a job and I felt my resume was very out of date I had spent a decade and a half at one job and was having trouble presenting my skills in a way that would be readable and relatable to potential employers.

I dropped in without an appointment, and the Career Studio was very helpful. They read my resume, gave feedback and got me signed up for an online course. I found the course helpful for reformatting my resume and presenting my skills and experience in an attention-grabbing way

When I re-approached the workplace I was seeking employment at with my updated resume, I was hired! The Career Studio was a huge help. I would recommend it to anyone.

Chelsea’s side of the story

A student came in one morning for a resume critique to get a job after years with the military. This was out of the scope of my practice, but I knew one thing – being in the military teaches you many things and there are many transferable skills. The challenging part for me in this was helping the student see that

As we talked, Paula, our Career Services Officer, assisted me. She was able to send me some resources that I could share with the student and we enrolled him in the resume and cover letter course that is free from the Career Studio. A few days later, this student emailed me to let me know that he got a job after using the course and the resources. My heart was filled with a lot of happiness to hear that The situation was a challenge at first, but it demonstrates that no work experience is ever a waste With the right communication, you can connect transferable skills to make the employer see you are a fit without doing the job.

I found the career fair last week to be an excellent value of time and one of the best hiring events that I’ve experienced in terms of connecting with the right candidates. I appreciated the fact that it was a concentrated two-hour period focused towards the business faculty students or those with an interest in business – exactly the type of applicants that we were looking for!

In February, the Career Studio provided incredible support to the Faculty of Management Marketing Department in hosting an Alumni Panel of marketing professionals. Jonah Ferguson (Career Studio) arranged a panel of accomplished Marketing graduates from VIU, who spoke to an audience of 50 VIU students who were keen to learn about a career in marketing. There is tremendous value for students in connecting with the business community beyond the classroom, and this event exemplified an opportunity for our students to create industry connections. Our Marketing Department is incredibly grateful for the support of the Career Studio in organizing all aspects of this event, as it was a fantastic success

Co-Curricular Record

What is the Co-Curricular Record?

The Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is VIU’s official non-academic transcript. It is implemented, maintained, and led by the OCCEL. The CCR provides a full database of all the available engagement positions, student opportunities and student’s completed reflections

The CCR recognizes students for both organizing and participating in approved paid and volunteer experiences. Co-curricular learning transcends academia by developing students' intrapersonal capabilities and soft skills, such as professionalism, philanthropy, and leadership to build upon the theories that were learned through classroom teachings (Bergen-cico & Viscomi, 2012). In collaboration with other departments and faculties at VIU, the CCR can provide events and activities widely across the institution to make specific and measurable impacts on student’s overall learning and development

Benefits of the CCR at VIU

I’ve been going to VIU on and off for many years working on my degree, and I can say with absolute confidence that it wasn’t until I engaged with the community that facilitates all of the extra-curricular learning and growth at this school that I really understood why I was in university I consider myself an accomplished professional outside of academia, but the complementary skills and applied practice that the CCR has allowed me to quantify in my learning is invaluable and has opened my eyes to the powerful experience of uplifting others in our collective pursuit of success and change for the better ”
