The college provides a variety of programs. These programs are meant to be connected to labour demand on the island. All the programs include activities that help students to understand how the labour market works. My program is a fairly new one and it was the result of a provincial government request to certify project managers. The courses touch upon hard and soft skills that equip me to be a project manager. I think it would be better if we had the opportunity to have more guidance to prepare ourselves for the Project Management Professional Certificate.
Since the project is new, we are in a culinary Center of Holland College so our program does not have its “own identity” until today.
I think the multiculturalism and diversity of backgrounds in my class have brought me a lot of lessons and it is a good way to implement soft skills such as communication, group work and leadership.
The opportunities we be part of sports clubs and student counselling contribute to our wellbeing.
However, I think the college is not prepared to receive international students. The international office does not offer housing services or support for paying tuition fees without high fees. Also, the College does not have offers to reduce the expenses of students with low income.
