Each 91̽�� Campus Open House event offers a College Fair, campus tour and the opportunity to check out 91̽�� labs and Trades shops. Spotlight Sessions for 10 different 91̽�� programs are also available (Vernon and Kelowna events only) where future students can learn more about different programs offered at the college and the careers they can lead to. 

"As industries evolve and technology transforms the workplace, 91̽�� is committed to equipping learners with the skills they need to thrive," said Dr. Samantha Lenci, provost and vice president, academic at 91̽��. "Our Open Houses give future students a chance to explore programs designed for today’s world and tomorrow’s opportunities."

The 91̽�� Open House events connect future students with professors, instructors, and industry-experienced professionals who lead more than 130 programs that emphasize hands-on learning, industry partnerships, and technology-driven training in fields like technology, trades, tourism, health sciences, business and more. Information will also be available about flexible learning options, including microcredentials and part-time studies, designed to support lifelong learners and career changers.

"Whether you're entering post-secondary education for the first time or seeking to upskill in a rapidly changing world, 91̽�� offers the pathways and support to help you succeed," added Lenci. “As an added incentive to come visit us in person, Open House attendees can apply to attend 91̽�� on the spot and have their application fee waived.”

Applications for the 2025/2026 academic year are now open, and programs with earlier start dates are also available. Open House attendees can enter to win a $500 tuition credit to be used towards future education goals at 91̽��, with one $500 prize to be won per campus. 

Alison Gibson, dean of community engagement and careers at 91̽��, emphasizes how 91̽��’s programs are designed to prepare students for the future of work.
"Our programs blend technology, innovation, and practical experience, empowering learners to meet the challenges of today’s workforce and prepare for tomorrow’s careers," said Gibson. "91̽�� is a place where students can start, change or advance their careers with confidence and gain the experience they need."
