Post-Secondary Central Data Warehouse Standard Reports May 2021 Data Submission Headcount Totals Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training May 2021 Data Submission Date: July 1, 2021 Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training Introduction to the Post-Secondary Central Data Warehouse, May 2021 _____________________________________________________________________________________ The Post-Secondary Central Data Warehouse reflects student-level data submitted by 21 of BC's public post-secondary institutions, including colleges, institutes and seven universities. University of British Columbia, University of Victoria, Simon Fraser University and University of Northern British Columbia are not included in these reports. The following 5 institutions were granted university status as of September 1, 2008, and their names changed at that time: -Capilano College became Capilano University -Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design became Emily Carr University of Art and Design -Kwantlen University College became Kwantlen Polytechnic University -Malaspina University-College became Vancouver Island University -University College of the Fraser Valley became University of the Fraser Valley. Quality Control Since June 2002, a data quality management plan has been in place to measure and improve the overall quality of data in the Central Data Warehouse. This plan was revised in 2013. The ministry acknowledges the effort and co-operation of the public post-secondary institutions for ongoing improvement in the quality of post-secondary enrolment and credential data. Time Periods The standard reports present information for the following time periods: Academic Year: September 1 to August 31. Fiscal Year: April 1 to March 31. Calendar Year: January 1 to December 31 (used in Credentials reporting only at this time). November 1st: A count of all students enrolled as of November 1st each year. A student headcount at Nov. 1 reports the number of students at a single point in time, whereas the other time periods report the number of students over an entire year. As a result, institutions that offer more frequent short-term courses (e.g. the Justice Institute of British Columbia) will have a low headcount as at Nov. 1 and much higher numbers over a year. Offshore Students Some BC institutions deliver programs in other countries. Non-Canadians with no visa status studying outside Canada at offshore campuses or via the Internet are not included in headcount or credential reports. Unique Headcount In any given year, some students attend more than one institution. Since these students are included in the headcount of each institution they attend, the sum of all institutions' headcounts will include some students more than once, producing an over-stated total headcount. In the unique headcount, students who are identified as attending more than one institution are only counted once. This number represents the number of students served by the participating institutions as a whole. Masking Each number or total greater than 0 but less than five has been masked with an *; all other numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10; all values of 0 are represented by blank cells. The effects of rounding may result in totals in different reports not matching exactly when they would be expected to match.

    Development of a Hospitality Management Program, in the East Kootenay Region Of

    1 Development of a Hospitality Management Program, in the East Kootenay Region of British Columbia (Canada), to Address the Employment Needs of the Region Abstract College of the Rockies (Canada), guided by its strategic initiatives, explored the potential of introducing a two-year Hospitality Management Diploma program in Invermere, British Columbia. After a successful feasibility study, the program was developed and introduced during the Spring semester of 2018. The program content is aligned with the provincial core curriculum for Hospitality Management and developed in collaboration with local Hospitality industry inputs. The distinctiveness of the program lies in its design and structure, focused on regional industry employment needs and includes a 500-hour Co-operative education semester to further enhance students’ employability skills and job-readiness for the Hospitality industry. Key words Industry Employability Partnership Collaboration Education Development 2 Introduction Job-ready graduates as well as filling employment gaps are essential focus areas and desired outcomes for tertiary education institutions. College of the Rockies (COTR), British Columbia (BC), Canada explored the local Hospitality industries’ needs to design an academic program to do just that. The Kootenay Regional Skills Training Plan (2013) indicates the demand for workers to increase from 78 560 in 2012 to 83 240 in 2020, thus predicting a 5.6% increase, as indicated in Figure 1.1 Kootenay Labour Demand and Supply Projections 2012 to 2020. The Kootenay Regional Skills Training Plan (2013) further reveals the shortage of qualified employees in the Tourism and Hospitality industries in the Kootenay region. The region, with an already shortfall of qualified employees, has a projected Tourism and Hospitality employee growth, potentially similar to the 1.6% estimated for the province as well as business development that support the claim of a desired increase of qualified employees.

    “Viewpoints” on Reconciliation: Indigenous Perspectives for Post-Secondary Education in the Southern Interior of Bc

    “VIEWPOINTS” ON RECONCILIATION: INDIGENOUS PERSPECTIVES FOR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION IN THE SOUTHERN INTERIOR OF BC 2020 Project Synopsis By Christopher Horsethief, PhD, Dallas Good Water, MA, Harron Hall, BA, Jessica Morin, MA, Michele Morin, BSW, Roy Pogorzelski, MA September 1, 2020 Research Funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Executive Summary This research project synopsis presents diverse Indigenous community perspectives regarding the efforts needed to enable systemic change toward reconciliation within a public post-secondary educational institution in the Southern Interior of British Columbia. The main research question for this project was “How does a community college respectfully engage in reconciliation through education with the First Nations and Métis communities in the traditional territories in which it operates?” This research was realized by a team of six Indigenous researchers, representing distinct Indigenous groups within the region. It offers Indigenous perspectives, insights, and recommendations that can help guide post-secondary education toward systemic change. This research project was Indigenous led within an Indigenous research paradigm and done in collaboration with multiple communities throughout the Southern Interior region of British Columbia. Keywords: Indigenous-led research, Indigenous research methodologies, truth and reconciliation, Indigenous education, decolonization, systemic change, public post- secondary education in BC, Southern Interior of BC ii Acknowledgements This research was made possible through funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) of Canada. The important contributions from the Sinixt, Ktunaxa, Syilx, and Métis Elders, Knowledge Keepers, youth, men, and women within this project are essential to restoring important aspects of education that have been largely omitted from the public education system.

  • ASE Program Specific Transfer Guide Project

    ASE Program Specific Transfer Guide Project

    Adult Special Education (ASE) Program-Specific Transfer Guide Project Contractor: Donna Lowndes, Douglas College Articulation Committee Co-Chairs: Kimberly McIntyre, Northwest Community College Alison Roy, Selkirk College May 2018 1 Introduction: In British Columbia’s public post-secondary institutions, Adult Special Education (ASE) programs respond to the needs of a diverse group of learners. Individuals with disabilities, or with a combination of barriers to education, employment or independence, as described in Appendix A, are eligible to enroll in these programs/courses in accordance with each institution’s guidelines (Douglas College, 2009). ASE programs also respond to industry and community needs, and relate directly to local labour market trends. 15 BC post-secondary institutions offer ASE courses and programs. The topics in ASE programs and courses include, but are not limited to, skills that increase independence, literacy and numeracy, computer literacy, employment transition, employment readiness, and vocational skills training. Learning is enhanced by the use of student-centered best practices. ASE programs and courses emphasize skill development for the workplace, and promote independence, community inclusion, and lifelong learning. The purpose of the ASE Program-Specific Transfer Guide is to provide information to learners, parents, caregivers, instructors, employers, community agencies and counselors throughout British Columbia regarding the purpose of ASE articulation, learning outcomes for general program type offerings and a table of programs offered at each institution. The Guide will help its users with program awareness and identify transferability among ASE Employment Readiness Programs, many of which are not eligible for inclusion in the BC Transfer Guide because they are categorized as developmental or preparatory courses.

  • Environmental Scan 2019

    Environmental Scan 2019

    Environmental Scan 2019 INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCH Executive summary The Environmental Scan 2019 considers the demographic and economic context, government priorities, and trends in post-secondary education that might relate to Langara’s mission as Canada’s pathways college. There are three parts in the Environmental Scan 2019: the first discusses broader trends in the Vancouver area and British Columbia as a whole; the second discusses trends specific to Langara and other post-secondary institutions in the province; and the third discusses Langara’s internal enrolment trends and ongoing initiatives. Broad external trends The largest group of Langara students are in the 18- to 24-year-old age range and live in the College’s service area, made up of the Vancouver, Richmond, and Burnaby school districts. While the populations of the College service area and of BC as a whole continue to grow, we have seen decreases in the population aged 18-24, a trend that is reflected in decreasing numbers of grade 12 students in local high schools. This decrease is expected to reverse by the end of the 2020s; meanwhile, recent trends suggest Metro Vancouver will continue to see new residents arrive from other provinces and from outside Canada. Strong economic growth in BC has caused the unemployment rate to drop to its lowest level since the 2008/09 recession. With the lowest unemployment rate and the highest job vacancy rate in Canada, BC is in need of skilled workers; however, the availability of work might be an incentive to delay post-secondary training. Over the next decade, more than three-quarters of new job openings will require some level of post-secondary education.
