Evergreen College - West Campus Students

Peer Tutoring: The Peer Tutoring Program is a free, one-on-one academic support service available to Evergreen College students. Students with prior education or expertise in a select program area are matched with those who may require additional learning assistance. With peer tutoring, students are able to reach their academic goals through a better understanding of course material. The program operates on a volunteer basis and according to the independent schedules of both the tutor and the student. Tutors are recognized for their leadership with a certificate from the College.

Evergreen Alumni: Upon graduation, Evergreen College students are automatically registered with the Evergreen Roots Alumni Association (ERAA). ERAA offers Employment Workshops to members, which gives alumni a competitive edge for their job search. ERAA also supports graduates by providing access to the Alumni Directory. This resource gives students the opportunity to share information about themselves, and connect with others who have similar interests or may have been in the same class. It encourages alumni to strengthen and develop their networks as they enter the workforce

Off Campus Activities: At Evergreen College, we believe that learning extends beyond the classroom. Off-campus activities help students to connect the theory and practical knowledge they’ve acquired in the classroom to the workforce. Through site visits, volunteer initiatives and other activities, students are able to get a taste of working in their field. As they visit different organizations, they learn about the history of the industry, gain insight into current market conditions and obtain hands-on experience. Coupled with their classroom curriculum, these activities enhance their career-readiness in order to prepare them for graduation and entering the workforce.

Career Services: With you from day one, Career Services is on hand to help students get acquainted with College life. Orientation activities and workshops introduce all the staff, services, and facilities at the students’ disposal, as well as acquaint students with the Evergreen College’s culture of excellence.

Safety: Evergreen College adheres to the Health and Safety Act and Private Career Colleges Act. As an Evergreen College student you’ll have easy access to information on WHMIS Training, fire safety, accessibility training, harassment and discrimination policies, and more, as well as useful resources including policies, procedures, and emergency contacts.

Working on Campus: Part-time job opportunities are available for students on-campus in the fields of Admissions, Marketing and Administration. By going through a real-world job application and interview process, students are able to put into practise the career skills learned in the classroom. Through on-campus employment, students are also able to gain additional work experience and enhance their skills. Both of which will make them more employable upon graduation.
