*NEW* Health Care Programs
1. Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) - take KPU Intro to Health Sciences 1115 course this summer!
Application must arrive in our office no later than March 12th (Do not submit to your counsellor or put in school mail on this date; submit it to the SD38 Career Programs Office. See detailed instructions on the application form).
- Open to students currently in Gr. 10 or 11. This dual credit course runs July 2nd - August 15, 2024 (exam date). Course tuition paid by SD38 and students earn KPU credit AND four Gr. 12 credits toward graduation. International students may apply (priority will be given to domestic students).
2. Vancouver Community College (VCC) - take an entire program
We are pleased to be able to offer two seats each for Health Care Assistant and Medical Lab Assistant with Vancouver Community College (VCC) . Students who apply for and are accepted into a program, will earn dual credits for their program (if successful). This means the student will earn both VCC credits and high school elective credits (Gr. 12) and tuition will be covered for the program.
Students apply in their grade 11 school year and take their chosen program during grade 12. Planning ahead will be important, as students will need to meet the VCC admission requirements by the start of the program. These can be found in the links for each program found below as well as on our application. NOTE: The start dates available to SD38 students vary from what is posted on the VCC website. Please do not go by the VCC website dates, if applying for this dual credit option via SD38 Career Programs.
Health Care Program Application is due April 9, 2024 (click to access application)
DO NOT APPLY DIRECTLY WITH VCC. Applications for these go through our SD38 Career Programs Office.
