Industry Partnerships

We believe partnerships strengthen the quality of education. Through collaboration, we open pathways to the labour market and improve access to post-secondary education and career training in British Columbia.

Over the years, Continuing Studies at UVic has worked with a diverse range of community and industry-based partners. We take a shared ownership and engagement approach to co-create innovative programs that meet common goals.

We have expertise in designing programs for diverse learners who may experience barriers to engaging in traditional post-secondary education.
