Experience OC
Experience OC events coming in May 2025
²ÝÁñÊÓƵ hosts annual Experience OC for High School students in our local School Districts. Professors & instructors lead interactive hands-on sessions in a wide variety of program areas & subjects including Arts, Science, Business, Trades, Engineering Technologies, Health & Social Development, etc.
These events are primarily designed for Grade 10 and 11 students that wish to participate and must have permission from their school to attend. Speak with your local career coordinator to register for this event.
Experience OC is an excellent opportunity for students to be immersed into new program areas and learn more about the individual program and subject areas we offer at ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ or that they may want to explore at another Post Secondary institution.
We’ve had current students and Alumni students share with us that this experience helped them choose the program suited for them!
