The Sprott Shaw Advantage

Our dedicated Employment Services Specialists assist our graduates with job placement assistance throughout their lifetime. Sprott Shaw graduates may return for this employment assistance anytime if required after graduation. We understand the importance of meaningful careers and our team makes this our priority to find permanent employment for our graduates.

Over time, our graduates’ skills may need sharpening. Technology improves, new techniques are created, and new terminology is used. It is important to be relevant and therefore students may return to Sprott Shaw for refresher courses should they require skills upgrading in the area they trained in. Conditions apply. See campus for details.

Included in most programs are courses to provide learners with skills and strategies for success in their educational, professional and personal lives. Topics covered can include time-management strategies, effective study, and test-taking skills, financial literacy (which includes savings and retirement strategies, student loan repayment, goal setting, budgeting and more), wellness and self-care, career preparation strategies, employment interview questions, resume creation and an employment portfolio.

Our monthly intake system means no waitlists and regular monthly start dates, allowing students the chance to graduate and be job-ready sooner. Students have a daily schedule of 4 to 5 hours, allowing them more time to complete assignments or work part-time where necessary. Start times and program schedules vary by program; see an Admissions Advisor for details.

Sprott Shaw has 16 campuses across BC allowing students the opportunity to attend any location that is most convenient for them. All of our campuses are fully designated by PTIB, a branch of the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills & Training and have EQA designation, which is only provided to public and private institutions that meet or exceed quality assurance standards set by the province of B.C. We are close by, and are always ready to provide our graduates with full support for retraining and job placement assistance to improve their chances of employment.

When taking one of our college programs, you will be pleased to discover each program is dedicated to providing relevant information and quality education with smaller class sizes. Our programs give you the necessary skills to reach your full potential and accomplish your career goals.
