Why are we named after

a European country?

H O L L A N D C O L L E G E F A C T O I D S 3

Actually, we’re not; but it’s a good question, and

one that we’re asked quite frequently!

In the fall of 1968, the college planning

committee extended an invitation to the

public to suggest names for the Island’s new

community college. Samuel Johannes Holland,

who conducted the first survey of Prince Edward

Island in 1764 to 1766, was suggested. Holland

was a highly-esteemed surveyor with strong ties

to Prince Edward Island. Holland was dedicated

to his profession, the advancement of

technology, and to education. He was

commissioned by the British government to

survey and map a significant portion of the

lands on the eastern seaboard of North America.

From Ontario and Quebec and all down the east

coast as far as Virginia, in the United States,

there are communities, schools, and parks

named after Samuel Holland; but few people

know of his strong connection to Prince

Edward Island.

Life @ Holland College

Holland Hurricanes

At Holland College, we believe that you will get the most out of your college

experience if you have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities

outside of class. The friendly, fun-loving staff of Student Services works hard

throughout the year to ensure that students have the opportunity to

socialize... and, of course, to have fun! For students who come from out of

town, Student Services staff can help them get settled in to their new

surroundings, and can provide information regarding medical centres, health

insurance, and accommodations in the area. They can even tell you where to

get the best pizzas! Chances are, no matter how many questions you have,

someone in Student Services can answer them all.

Holland Hurricanes sports teams provide students with the opportunity to participate in

organized sports. Our varsity teams represent Holland College on the regional and national

level, while our club teams offer students the opportunity to participate in a more rec-

reational way. The college’s new 9,400 square-foot gym is in the Centre for Community

Engagement (CCE), on the Prince of Wales Campus. The CCE also features a state-of-the-art

Clubs

Off-Campus

Student Services maintains lists of off-

campus accommodations for Charlottetown,

Georgetown, Summerside, O’Leary, Tignish,

and Alberton. These lists include apart-

ments, rooms with kitchen privileges, and

“room and board” arrangements, which

means that the landlord is offering a space

in their home and at the same time they

provide one, two or three meals per day. You

will find links to these lists on the Holland

College website.

As a Holland College student, you can participate in a wide variety of

activities both on and off campus. During Orientation Days at the

beginning of the school year, you will be asked to identify clubs that

you may be interested in. If there are enough like-minded students,

Student Services will help set up a club for you.

Holland College Welshmen Community Band

The Holland College Welshmen Community Band has more than

52 members from all walks of life. The band gives students who

interests. The band’s director, Alan Dowling, is a well-known and

respected alumnus of the internationally renowned Berklee College

of Music in Boston. The band performs in concerts throughout the

school year, at some of the Holland Hurricanes football games, and

at some graduation ceremonies.

Using a variety of resources, including counselling,

testing, tutoring, and assistive technology, the team

can help students with challenges increase their

chances of academic success by helping them to

be independent learners and encouraging them to

reach their fullest potential. Services are provided

Degree Pathways

A Great Blend of College

and University!

Can’t decide between college and university?

Why not choose both! Degree pathways such

as articulation agreements and transfer credits

give you the opportunity to begin your studies

at one institution and finish at another. For

example, you may decide to obtain a diploma

from Holland College and then further your

studies at a university. Or you may have begun

your studies in university, and be interested in

continuing your education at Holland College.

If you’re interested in pursuing your studies

somewhere else, Holland College has

approximately 140 agreements with

universities and colleges across Canada,

the U.S., and overseas. There are a variety of

joint applied degree programs, as well as 2+2

programs, which mean that you can earn your

diploma at Holland College and then earn your

university degree in as little as two

additional years.

Apprenticeship Training

Apprenticeship training begins after the pre-apprentice program is completed and

you are working full time with a suitable employer. The Apprenticeship Section of

the PEI Department of Innovation and Advanced Learning has training programs

in many trade areas such as automotive service technician, electrician, machinist,

cook, and plumber. These apprenticeship programs are a combination of on-the-

job and in-school technical training and lead to interprovincial certification under

the national Red Seal program. Holland College provides apprenticeship training

at the Summerside Waterfront Campus, The Culinary Institute of Canada and the

Georgetown Centre, depending on the trade.

Note: For more information about apprenticeship training in PEI, visit

apprenticeship.pe.ca. This information pertains to PEI only. For apprenticeship

information in other provinces, please contact the Apprenticeship branch in

that province.

Provinces Council of Community

Colleges

Holland College is the

leader in degree pathway

agreements in Atlantic

Canada.

“Provincial Red Seal

Apprentices who complete the designated programs

will be eligible to challenge for the Interprovincial Red

Seal, which is recognized across Canada. The Red Seal

Program allows qualified trades people to practice their

trade in any province or territory in Canada. Through

the program, certified journeypersons are able to obtain

a Red Seal endorsement on their Certificate of

Qualification by successfully completing, where

applicable, an interprovincial standards examination.

The program encourages standardization of provincial

and territorial apprenticeship training and certification

programs.

Distance

Education

Programs that offer a distance education

option give students who cannot attend

classes on campus the opportunity to

continue their education via the Internet

or off-site. This option is attractive to

people who cannot relocate to attend

classes, or who are working full time but

would still like to upgrade their skills.

Accreditation

Accredited programs are recognized

across Canada as having met national

academic standards for that field of

study. Many Holland College programs

are accredited, which means that the

credential that you earn will be

recognized across the country.
