CNC Quesnel welcomes new students to spring open house

The College of New Caledonia (CNC) is welcoming new and returning students with an open house on Thursday, Mar 5.

“It’s an opportunity for us to open the doors to the community and to students who may have applied or may be accepted or are thinking of applying to a program at CNC,” says Shelley Carter-Rose, the Vice-President of Student Affairs at CNC Prince George Campus.

Prince George’s CNC Campus will have its open house later in the week on Saturday. Current and prospective students from both campuses may attend both open houses.

At the open houses, visitors will be able to meet with instructors and current students to discuss and learn about the program options, and tour classrooms and labs.

According to the province of British Columbia’s labour market outlook, more than one million jobs, including long-term opportunities, are projected for 2035. These jobs are driven largely by replacement needs and growth in skills professions across key sectors in the workforce.

Students and visitors who attend the open houses will be able to see how CNC’s programs align with the regional and provincial labour demands in the trades, technology, healthcare, sciences, and business sectors.

“These open houses are a nice way for CNC to support students as they begin their journey,” says Carter-Rose. “The energy at these events is very high, and people are excited. CNC staff are excited to showcase the campus and support the needs in the community.”

In addition to learning the campus and programs, those who attend may take part of campus-wide activities, and be entered to win one of two $1,000 tuition credits to help get started at CNC.

Attendees will also receive an application code that will waive the $40 application fee until the end of March.

The Quesnel Campus‘ open house will be on Thursday, March 5, from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m.

CNC Prince George Campus‘ open house will be on Saturday, March 7, from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
