What happens when our game design and accounting students collab?

Alberta grade 10–12 students get a cool educational video game to help them learn business. 🎮📈

(Made possible thanks to a sweet investment from the Alberta CPA Education Foundation!)

The game will put high schoolers in real-world business and accounting scenarios where their decisions shape the action — building financial literacy and strategic thinking along the way.

And speaking of decisions…

Where there’s WIL, there’s a way. 💼
 
Work Integrated Learning (WIL) turns what you do in class into real-world experience as part of every program we offer.
 
We’re so committed to it, we don’t just find industry placements. We create them, too.
 
This fall, our new WIL WorkBridge pilot is giving Business Administration students 150 hours to build their skills across Bow Valley College departments — and see how a complex organization works from the inside.
 
Real projects. Real teams.
 
Really cool on a résumé.
 
That’s WIL at work.
 

Ahead of the curve starts at the front of class. 💫📚

Thinking about continuing your education? You deserve instructors who are also committed to continuing their own.

Before welcoming students this fall, Bow Valley College faculty spent five days in our professional development seminar, “Foundations of Instruction: Launch.”

Though they’re already experts in their fields, they focused on becoming even better educators — exploring new approaches and keeping pace with how learning is evolving.

Workshops. Hands-on course prep. Instructional practice. Individualized coaching. And opportunities to demonstrate the skills it takes to teach the Bow Valley College way.

Because when your instructors keep improving, so do the ways you can succeed. 🎓✨

Our fall event is almost here. 🍂

A new month. A new semester. And at Bow Valley College, a new crew of students to give the Welcome Week treatment.

Today we celebrated with Coffee Kickoff — because who doesn’t love the smell of a hot cup of September? 🍂

For students, it was a chance to grab a cup on us, meet some new faces, and get a taste of campus life.

For you? Consider it a sip of what could be brewing next: new skills, new opportunities, a whole new direction.

If college has been percolating in the back of your mind, now might be a good time to pour a little more thought into it.

With 50+ career-focused programs, we’ve got something on the menu for just about everyone — whether you’re graduating from high school, ready for a career change, or looking to level up your skills.

Come January, you could be the one grabbing a coffee and taking steps toward a future you can get excited about. 🎓💼
