Co-op programs:
Hampton College's co-operative education is a paid, career-related work experience that focuses on academic and personal goals. Co-op work terms are generally six months to one year in duration. The majority of jobs are in British Columbia, but they could be anywhere in Canada where a suitable job is available. Cooperative education integrates a student's academic study with on-the-job work experience.It allows students to obtain professional experience in their specific field of study. This is done by alternating periods of on-campus study with work experience in business, industry, and government. Co-op helps bridge the gap between the classroom and work.
The key lies in matching an employer who can offer a productive and vocationally relevant work experience with a capable and skilled student. No student is sent out for a work term until he/she has the ability to be a productive employee.The work terms form an essential component of the student's total academic program. A mandatory requirement for graduation, the work terms are evaluated by both the College and the employer in order to promote maximum learning on the part of the student.
Students will receive work permit at the same time when they apply for student visa. Upon successful completion of the Advanced and Postgraduate Diploma programs, international students interested in immigrating to Canada or in getting well paid and long-term jobs in Canada, will also receive maximum points towards immigration to Canada for both employment and academic purposes.
Why Study in Canada?
Competitively Priced:
International students can save considerably by studying in Canada. For instance, in a 2003 survey compiled by the Association of Commonwealth Universities, Canada offered the lowest tuition rates for foreign students compared to the U.K., Australia and New Zealand. And, fees in the U.S. public universities were almost 1/3 higher than fees for Bachelor's degrees in Canada, while U.S. private university fees were more than double. Factor in Canada's low cost of living, and the overall financial advantage becomes even greater.
Quality of Life: Canada has been voted the best country to live in by the UN.
A Bilingual Nation:
Canada is a bilingual country with two official languages, English and French. The majority of Canada's French speaking inhabitants live in the province of Québec. This province is located in the eastern part of the country, but there are French speaking communities throughout the country. As a bilingual nation, Canada offers superior English as a Second Language (ESL) and French as a Second Language (FSL) programs for students wishing to learn either or both languages.
Multicultural and Welcoming:
Canada has traditionally been a country of immigrants and has a policy of encouraging multicultural diversity. In fact, one out of three Canadians has an ethnic background other than English, French or Aboriginal. Students coming to Canada will experience a secure, peaceful, multi-cultural environment in cities and towns with people who are friendly and interested in learning about other cultures.
Work Opportunities:
International students who have graduated from a Canadian college have the opportunity to work in Canada after they receive their diploma. International students can work in Canada with a Co-op work permit.
