As B.C.’s largest and oldest community college, VCC has been inspiring students to reach their career and educational goals for over 55 years. We offer post-secondary training in over 140 programs including bachelor’s degrees, diplomas, certificates, micro-credentials, and apprenticeships. With two campuses located Downtown and in East Vancouver, students receive hands-on instruction in culinary arts, business, design, health sciences, hospitality management, transportation trades, music, and more. VCC also offers programs in continuing studies, academic upgrading, and language instruction for newcomers to Canada.

On-campus facilities include numerous restaurants, automotive shops, design studios, dental clinic, and a salon and spa that provide real-world training to students and lower-cost services to the community. VCC’s trades students are also frequently top performers in provincial, national, and international skills competitions.

Alongside award-winning, experiential learning and cutting-edge technology, VCC’s 15,000 students benefit from the college’s strong commitment to diversity, inclusion, accessibility, Indigenous reconciliation, and longstanding connections with local employers and community organizations. When VCC students graduate, they are job-ready, in-demand and ready to serve the community.
