StrongerBC Future Ready Action Plan, the government introduced the future skills grant program to support British Columbians, aged 19 or older, in accessing up to $3,500 in short-term skills training which has now reached its limit in funding.

VCC is thrilled to announce the launch of the much-needed micro-credential, Addictions Counselling Skills. The opioid crisis continues to impact countless lives, making the need for skilled addiction care more urgent than ever. The Addictions Counselling Skills micro-credential consists of three modules: Foundations of Trauma and Resiliency Informed Practice, Care Models and Modalities for Addiction Treatment, and Addictions Counselling Skills, and spans 100 hours of training. 

Starting January 2025, VCC is pleased to launch a new post-degree diploma program in Cybersecurity governance, risk and compliance.

In addition, there is a special funding opportunity for January 2025. Thanks to support from the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills, we are offering a limited number of seats at a significantly reduced (50%) tuition rate. Eligible applicants who meet admission requirements will be accepted at the reduced rate on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Cybersecurity governance, risk and compliance will equip students with essential skills in privacy and security frameworks, risk communication, enterprise IT operations, evolving compliance standards, and business communication.
