Carpentry and plumbing students

and faculty have teamed up with

Victoria Kiwanis Club to help single

parents improve their lives and their

children’s lives.

Kiwanis House, an eight-suite

non-profit housing unit, recently

opened at the corner of Hillside and

Cook Avenues. Thanks to fundraising

efforts and a community partnership

between Kiwanis and Camosun’s

entry level trades programs, much

of the building work was completed

by Camosun students.

“More than 70 students did much

of the actual construction over two

years through volunteer labour,” says

Carpentry Instructor Thomas Newton.

“Having Camosun students doing

most of the construction saved us

about $50,000 in labour costs,” said

Keith Myers, chair of the Kiwanis

housing project.

arning Opportunities

When new mother Catherine Broome

gave birth to her son Ian this year,

she knew she had the comfort of a

professional student nurse by her side.

Second-year Nursing student

Bob Chambers stayed with Catherine

throughout most of her pregnancy

and delivery as part of Camosun’s

collaborative Nursing program.

Camosun is well known for its

expertise in educating nurses to work

with individuals and families from a

health promotion perspective. The

College’s Nursing program emphasizes

both theory and practical experience

where students are directly involved

with clients in local hospitals and

community agencies.

Camosun’s nationally accredited

Nursing program collaborates with

nine other post-secondary institutions

in BC to offer students seamless

transfer to partner colleges and the

University of Victoria, so they may

complete their Baccalaureate in

Nursing degree.

Community partnerships help train skilled trades workers

“It’s a win-win. The students get

real-life practical experience and

the community gains some much-

needed affordable housing for

families who need a safe place

to stay while they learn to lead

productive and independent lives.”

Camosun College promotes

the rewards of skilled trades

careers. Within the next six

years it is expected that more

than 400,000 jobs for skilled

trades and technical workers

will become available in BC.


Supporting student success is the responsibility

of everyone at Camosun College: the Board, the

faculty, the staff and of course the students

themselves. We're all about learning.

• Health and Human Services

• Trades and Technologies

• Continuing Education

English Instructors Barb Latham (left)

and Debbie Gascoyne offer full and

partial on-line English courses. "Going

on-line has broadened my understanding

of what I can be as a resource to my

students. Because I use a problem-

solving approach, where the teacher is

the resource, distributed education is

really compatible with my teaching

philosophy," says Latham.

Flexible and accessible learningHow would you like your college

courses served: on the web, over the

radio, in the classroom?

Many Camosun College instructors are

working to create greater flexibility and

accessibility in their courses through

‘distributed education’.

“Distributed education is a way of

presenting information to students,”

says English Instructor Barb Latham.

Whether it’s using WebCT, an on-line

web-based learning application, or

radio or video, distributed education

combines teaching techniques to create

dynamic learning environments and

promote active learning.

“I use WebCT bulletin boards and other

WebCT files as a resource for students,

instead of printing off a lot of information

or distributing it orally. It’s my ‘smart

classroom’,” adds Latham.

For English instructor Debbie Gascoyne,

distributed education means access.

“On-line teaching works particularly well

for those who can’t make it to the

classroom. I’ve had students from Salt

Spring Island to Switzerland taking

English courses.”

Faculty in French, Math, Geography,

Physics, Psychology and Public

Administration are also working to

offer web-based and radio-based credit

courses. Camosun now offers a mix

of more than 20 courses in fully

on-line mode and a variety of others

with on-line components.

“For students, distributed education

allows them to be active learners and

critical thinkers, taking responsibility for

their own learning,” says Gascoyne.

“From their perspective, distributed

education is totally student-centred.”

because a friend from home

recommended it.

After he completes his University

Transfer Commerce program at the

Lansdowne Campus, Peter plans to

pursue his degree at the University of

Victoria. His dream is to someday open

an International Village in Canada.

Whether preparing for university,

a future career, or just looking to

increase their proficiency in English,

close to 500 students from around the

globe study at Camosun annually.

For over 18 years, the College has

welcomed students from countries like

Hong Kong, India, Mexico, Germany,

Kenya, China, Kuwait, the USA and

Japan, just to name a few.

Not only do they bring invaluable

intercultural understanding and global

perspectives into the classroom,

international students bring a richness

of friendship and diversity.

“A lot of international students come

here,” says Peter. “It's great because

you get to make friends with people

from all over the world.”

Fundamental to advanced English

also offered to adults through close

partnerships with the Victoria Native

Camosun business students are

getting real-life work experience

through a new curriculum concept

that integrates teamwork and

technology as learning tools.

The Business Administration Integrated

Stream program (BASIS) was launched

by the College’s School of Business

last year. It is a new eight-month

program that fuses 12 core first-year

business administration courses into

one full-time class.

Strategic planning, accounting,

marketing, management, staffing,

data processing, product pricing,

service, promotion and distribution

are all taught through one major

project – a comprehensive business

plan. Students create business plans

by forming teams and using e-mail

and web-based conferencing with

their own laptop computers.

The laptops allow for ‘anytime-

anywhere’ interactions with classmates,

team members and faculty.

“Incorporating technology and

teamwork helps mirror more realistically

the kinds of applications students can

expect in the workplace,” says BASIS

Program Leader Alec Lee. “As far as

I know, we are the only program in

North America with integrated

business courses using computer-

based learning.”

Camosun’s Civil, Electronics,

Mechanical and Computer Engineering

Technology programs have earned high

praise from employers and universities

across Canada for their unique

approach to student-centred learning.

The programs have been designed

in three steps to help upgrading

students access the technologies,

complete diplomas, and if they wish,

bridge easily into third-year university

engineering programs.

Camosun’s first-level Engineering

Access programs help students

upgrade their English, Math and

Physics skills to prepare them for entry

into one of the Technology programs.

The 2.5-year Technology programs

then provide students with applied

skills and nine months paid work

experience through co-operative

education placements.

The final six-month Engineering

Bridging programs give students theory

and practice to qualify them for entry

into the third year of an engineering or

applied science degree program.

“This innovative approach to education

means our students are prepared for

the workplace or university. More than

half of our graduates choose to

complete their engineering degrees

at UVic or UBC,” says Dana.

First-year business students use

laptops and teamwork to learn

business basics.

“The BASIS program is great! You

get to know your classmates really

well and you get to learn how each

course relates to all the others at

the same time. We learn statistics

but we understand it in relation to

how it is used in marketing. I use

my laptop for everything!”

Camosun has been a great experience for me.

Without the (Mechanical Engineering) Access

program I wouldn't be here. My instructors motivate

me. The co-op education program gives me valuable

work experience I know I didn't have before. I know

I'm going to graduate with a meaningful diploma.

Achieving Success

Professional Golf Management student

and Camosun Charger golfer Debbie

Janes knows what it’s like to be a ‘home

town hero.’

Debbie was dubbed so after she won

the National Canadian Colleges Golf

Championships in Ontario last fall.

Her outstanding effort helped propel the

Camosun Chargers team to the 2001

Canadian championship title. The year

before, Debbie won silver at the first-

ever annual college golf championships.

Now the best female college golfer in

Canada, Debbie says her ambition is to

teach golf at Victoria's Cordova Bay Golf

Club after graduation next year.

Camosun is one of only seven colleges

in Canada to offer a CPGA (Canadian

Professional Golf Association) certified

Professional Golf Management program.

The unique program combines a two-

year Business Administration diploma

with a one-year certificate in Professional

Golf Management. With successful

completion of their CPGA requirements,

graduates are eligible to become head

professionals, associate professionals,

and assistant professionals.

For Debbie, success will be realized

when she graduates and gets to teach

the sport she loves best.

A home town heroFourth-year sheet metal apprentice

Kevin Johansen believes his success

comes from hard work. The former

sign shop owner entered Camosun’s

Entry Level Sheet Metal Technician

program a few years ago because the

sign business was becoming very

competitive and he needed a change.

“Learning how to work with metals and

other materials was familiar but different

enough to give me a new career,” says

Kevin. “I came to Camosun because it

had a good reputation and was close

to home.”

After four years of on-the-job training

interspersed with six weeks of class

time per year, Kevin is completing his

sheet metal apprenticeship. When he

graduates from Camosun, he’ll be able

to write his interprovincial red seal

journeyperson exams and continue

working with J.B. Sheet Metal in

Victoria, a custom fabrication company.

Upon successful completion of their

classroom and work terms, Camosun

trades students who pass their

interprovincial exams are accredited

to work anywhere in Canada.

The Sheet Metal Technician program is

one of nine trades programs in which

Camosun offers apprenticeship training.

Camosun’s Carpentry, Welding,

Electrical, Plumbing/Pipefitting,

Autobody Repair and Refinishing,

Automotive Mechanical Repair, and

Professional Cook Training programs

all offer apprenticeships.

Camosun also offers entry level

trades training in: Aircraft Structural

Technician, Automotive Mechanics,

Carpentry, Electrical, Heavy

Duty/Commercial Transport

Mechanics, Plumbing and Pipe

Trades, Sheet Metal, Sheet Metal

Technician and Welding.

Success comes from hard work

Go Chargers!After eight years in

the BC Colleges’

Athletic Association

(BCCAA) and the

Canadian College Athletic Association (CCAA), the

Camosun College Chargers have carved a name for

themselves in intercollegiate volleyball, basketball

and golf. Since 1993 the Chargers have won:

National gold medals:

2001 – Women’s Golf

2000 – Men’s Golf

National silver medals:


2000 – Women’s Golf

offering practice aand play facilities to Camosun

College athletes.

To say that Frances Hooker is inspiring

is an understatement. Frances is a

business student from the Coast Salish

Nation who says that her success is due

to perseverance, a supportive family

and the encouragement of Camosun

College employees.

“I started out with basic skills and

I wouldn't be here today if it weren’t

for the staff and faculty here,” says

Frances. “I’ve taken adult basic

education, Career and College Skills

100; I’ve talked to counsellors and

advisors. I’ve been a student-aid and

I’ve tried to teach other students what

I’ve learned. All of these things have

supported me and helped me to build

my confidence and self-esteem.”

Frances is now working on her certificate

in Enterprise Development through

Camosun's School of Business.

Her immediate goal is to complete her

program and finish her business degree

at Royal Roads University. Her ultimate

goal is to open up her own Victoria

restaurant, serving traditional First Nations

cuisine with a contemporary edge.

“First Nations people are known for their

nature of hospitality. Food is central to

that. I want people to feel, smell and

taste the culture.”

Perseverance has paid off for Frances.

She already has financial supporters and

First Nations chefs from across the

country interested in her business plan.

Melissa Craig says her recipe

for success is simple – it’s

doing something you love.

For Melissa, a graduate of Camosun’s

Professional Cook Training apprentice

program, that something is cooking.

Melissa is the third consecutive

Camosun student to win the

annual Canadian Federation of

Chefs and Cooks National

Apprenticeship Competition.

Past Camosun apprentices James

Town, a Chef de Partie at the

Metropolitan Hotel in Vancouver,

and Jerry Kwan, a Sous-Chef at the

Royal Colwood Golf Club, were also

national winners.

Now a Chef de Partie at Sooke

Harbour House, Melissa says the

work is difficult, with long hours, but

she loves what she does. “I can’t

imagine doing anything else.”

“Melissa is a typical example of the

talent we have right here on

Vancouver Island,” says Professional

Cook Instructor Gilbert Noussitou.

Camosun’s highly renowned and

award-winning 12-month Professional

Cook Training program prepares

students with skills from basic food

preparation to culinary creations in

fine dining. Camosun College is the

only Vancouver Island community

college to provide apprenticeship

training to aspiring chefs.

Graduate Neil Klompas believes the key

to success is to “find something you

enjoy doing and build on what you’ve

already accomplished.”

Neil chose to take Camosun’s two-year

Applied Chemistry and Biochemistry

program five years ago because it offered

quality lab time and an internship option.

After graduating in 1999, Neil went on to

finish an internship with the BC Cancer

Research Centre in Vancouver. He was

one of the only Camosun graduates to be

awarded the prestigious NSERC (Natural

Sciences and Engineering Research

Council) Summer Studentship in his

second year.

Neil then transferred to UBC to complete

a B.Sc. and the Diploma in Accounting

program. Today Neil works for the

accounting firm of KPMG in their

Biopharmaceuticals Assurance Group.

He is a staff accountant and a Chartered

Accountant (CA) articling student.

“Don’t worry about changing direction

along the way,” he says. “Simply build

on what you’ve done and focus on what

you enjoy. Research the jobs in your field

and ensure your skill set matches market

demand. Above all, enjoy your time at

Camosun. It was one of the best times

of my life.”

A recipe for success

Success is perseverance

Build on whatyou know

The three things students need

to be successful are a positive

attitude, a willingness to work

hard and long hours, and a

readiness to learn.

I am impressed with the sheer

amount of lab time Camosun

students receive. After

graduating, I was working

alongside third and fourth year

co-op students at UBC. My lab

skills were on par, if not

superior to theirs. Camosun

has the competitive edge in

science education.
