British Columbia Institute of Technology is the largest higher vocational and technical college in Canada. The most prominent feature of running a school is to adjust the training objectives in time according to the changes in the job market, and the curriculum and teaching mode are flexible according to the needs of enterprises. On average, every two years, the courses of each major are handed over to a professional steering committee, which is mainly composed of professional personnel. The professional steering committee makes a comprehensive evaluation, puts forward a revised plan, and often updates the contents of textbooks in various subjects every year, with more than 100 items. In addition, in Canada, vocational students may need six months of training and four years of probation, or four years of on-the-job study to get a degree. This is one of the attractions of vocational education. Students can work while studying.
Studying in Canada, vocational education usually allows apprentices to enter specific industries after short-term training. Many schools provide short-term skills training so that their graduates can enter the labor market immediately. Both public and private schools offer it. Some training can be done on the job. Most courses can be completed in one year, and some simple courses only take a few weeks.
