Partnership good
news for tourism

British Columbia’s tourism indus-
try and its students are the big
winners in a unique partnership
formed recently between Capilano
College (a public institution) and
Vancouver Premier College of Hotel

Management (a private institution).

The agreement will provide VPC
students with access to higher
education opportunities by allow-
ing those graduating from its
16-month Hospitality Management
diploma program to ladder directly
into Capilano College’s Bachelor of
Tourism Management degree.

“With this agreement, we've
opened the door for students at a
private institution to get a degree
at a public institution in a way
that’s flexible and accessible,” says
Jonathan Rouse, chair of Capilano
College’s tourism department. “This
unique educational effort supports
industry's need for 84,000 new
skilled employees in B.C’s work-

force by 2015, as it allows students

to achieve both their professional
and educational goals.”
