Local Indigenous communities within the College region support and guide the College’s ability to provide and grow Indigenous culture and knowledge into the student experience. Moving forward, we will continue to identify more ways we can strengthen our responsiveness and responsibility to Indigenous learners and communities.

Learning local and place-based education.

Wolfgang, a Hydrology student from the University Transfer program, enjoys the education he gets outside of the four walls of a classroom at CMTN. Doing fieldwork that is transferable to a job site is an invaluable career-ready experience.

At Coast Mountain College we aim to be the college of choice for experiential, place-based learning. We're allowing students to learn both in the classroom and in the spectacular outdoor spaces that are so unique to this part of Canada.

Work Integrated Learning

What is Work-Integrated Learning (WIL)?

WIL is the intentional integration of a student’s academic studies within a workplace or practice setting. WIL experiences include an engaged partnership between an academic institution, a host organization and a student (CEWIL Canada).

Coast Mountain College recognizes the importance of broadening and building on students’ knowledge and discipline-related skills by bridging institutional-based learning with experience in the field. WIL experiences allow students to combine their academic studies with real-life work experience. This means they get to work with a company or organization, alongside professionals, while they study.
