Welcome to Off Campus Education
|
RVS Off Campus Education programs allow students to complement their classroom studies with practical experience obtained in the workplace. They are innovative “partnerships” between the school and the community which utilize the shared financial, human, and physical resources of the community at large. This enables the community, the world of work, and the school, to all become a part of the learning environment. Courses consist of a minimum of 25 hours per credit at a work station offering 3 to 10 credits per course taken. The programs offered include Work Experience, Career Transitions, Career Internship, the Registered Apprenticeship Program, and the Green Certificate program.
Off Campus Education programming in RVS is offered through concurrent registration at the RVS Community Learning Centres.
