Okanagan College is a dedicated learner-centered institution, serving the largest number of post-secondary school students in the B.C. Interior.

Our employees have an unparalleled enthusiasm for bringing out the best from the more than 20,000 people who take courses or programs through our four regional campuses.

This devotion to quality learning means employees here can expect the same for themselves. At Okanagan College we see careers not as destinations, but pathways to something richer, something deeper. Professional development isn’t simply an idea here. It’s who we are.

At Okanagan College, our Mission Statement says we transform lives and communities. That simple statement reflects our support of students, and connects us to the communities we serve.

Each year more than 20,000 individuals come through the doors of Okanagan College. That number translates into one out of every five people who reside within our vast region. With every new student the Okanagan College community grows just a little larger and more diverse.

More important than the number of students at Okanagan College is the impact they have in our communities. You need only look at the list of distinguished alumni and people served by Okanagan College who have helped shape this valley, province and country to fully appreciate the contributions of Okanagan College and its graduates.

Fifty years ago the first seeds of Okanagan College were planted. Half a century later the vision of a community college has become a reality and has grown beyond what anyone could have anticipated back in 1963 when the B.C. Vocational School opened its doors.

Over the years, the College has done much to respond to the growing and shifting needs of the communities it serves. Whether by cultivating new programming, offering a greater level of services to students or by delving into applied research, the College’s own transformation has been remarkable.

A leader in areas such as learner-centered education, sustainability, and experiential learning, Okanagan College is the largest college outside the lower mainland, and one of B.C.’s largest trades training institutions.

Our students benefit from educators of the highest order, as well as services that provide the support needed to achieve their goals, no matter how ambitious they may be.

All this makes Okanagan College what it is today, a place that is accessible, inclusive, and innovative. A place that adapts to meet the shifting needs and priorities of the people it serves. A place that transforms lives and communities.

Okay place
Managment could be improved. Decent pay. Very average overall. No culture or perks. Smells like old books. Vacay in already always booked up by seniority.

Misleading. Lack of Support, Communication & Integrity.
Misleading about offered contracts. Management accusational. Sups show support during team meets, but when reaching out, they are more critical than supportive. Lack of professional and collaborative communication & trustworthiness. A pattern of indirectly expressing negative feelings instead of openly addressing them. Much OT w/o pay.

Nice place to work, hard to advance
The college was a great place to work, student and community focused. Good training, great SOP's, and teamwork. Good location, lots of breaks, overtime requires when applicable.

I loved my job at Okanagan College!
It was exciting to work with the staff and students at Okanagan College! It was an inclusive work environment with great people! Co-designing a new course and instructing Landscape Horticulture was a very positive experience.
