The Office for International Credential Recognition’s first annual report is showing progress creating more opportunities for internationally trained professionals in B.C.

Students, staff and the surrounding community are one step closer to more on-campus supports at Simon Fraser University (SFU) - Burnaby as construction starts on a new student residence and will begin later this year on a new child care facility.  

Lisa Beare, Minister of Education and Child Care, has released the following statement in celebration of Education Week 2025:

More people will have the opportunity to train for in-demand careers, such as physical therapists, occupational therapists and midwives, at a new state-of-the-art University of British Columbia (UBC) facility in Surrey.

The Province is moving forward with new guidelines to protect students and reduce the risks and harms of toxic-drug poisonings.

The largest provincial investment in on-campus student housing will lead to more than 1,500 new post-secondary beds on the University of British Columbia’s Vancouver campus, as the Province continues to build homes for students at a record pace.

Canada’s first bachelor’s degree in traditional Chinese medicine will be offered at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) to train people for in-demand careers.

People training for good paying, in-demand careers will be able to access grants that cover most, or all, of their tuition thanks to the next intake of the StrongerBC future skills grant.
