Open houses celebrate OC

More than 60,000 of them have attended OC over the years.

And your journey can start or continue at any time.

This fall OC is celebrating 60 years since its modest beginnings back in 1963. It is inviting you to come and celebrate its 60th anniversary alumni social on Oct. 18.

Every campus is open for you this fall, from Salmon Arm to Penticton.

After 60 years there has been a lot of change—none more than is happening today. Okanagan College is changing with the times. It has more than 150 programs across arts, business, health and social development, science and technology, trades and apprenticeship and continuing studies.

It is adding new, shorter courses, including micro-credentials, designed to support communities and workers by getting more people working and targeting those industries that are hard hit by staffing shortages.

Browse short courses here in OC’s Fall 2023 Continuing Studies brochure.

Okanagan College also has incredible corporate training courses for your business and for yourself to up-skill, re-skill and keep your career moving forward as well as upgrading to meet pre-requisites for your program of choice.
