It's Convocation Day at OC. 🎓🥹

Here are some moments we're still holding onto. Different students, different stories, and the same look on every face when their name is called.

Behind every one of these grads is a story we only got to see a piece of. The late nights and the early mornings. The days they wanted to quit and showed up anyway. The family who cheered the loudest, the friends who kept them going, and the instructors who believed in them before they believed in themselves. Some of them did this while working full-time, raising kids or building a whole new life in a new place. Every one of them earned that walk across the stage.

We get to be part of the moment where it all lands, and it never gets old. The tears, the hugs, the caps in the air. Watching someone realize they actually did it is something we'll never take for granted.

To every OC grad, today and always: we're so proud of you. You've done something big, and you're taking a piece of this community with you wherever you go. Your seat here is yours for life.

Congratulations. We can't wait to see what you do next. 💛

Some great business ideas get stuck in a notebook. Others get an opportunity to become something real.

Which is why Okanagan College's Hall School of Business and Entrepreneurship is excited to welcome the JA Company Program from Junior Achievement BC (JABC) to our Vernon and Kelowna campuses.

This fall, high school students in Grades 9 to 12 will work in teams to develop a business idea, create a product or service, take on leadership roles and gain hands-on experience in areas including marketing, sales, finance, teamwork and problem-solving.

"Entrepreneurship is about seeing possibilities and having the confidence and skills to turn ideas in to action," says Hall School of Business and Entrepreneurship Dean, Joe Baker.

"We are excited to support the next generation of entrepreneurs and to create more opportunities for young people in the region."

The Vernon program is full but there are still spots available in Kelowna for a start date of Nov. 3. The programs run Tuesdays from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. through to March 2, 2027 and are offered at no cost.

Your class schedule has gaps. We have jobs!! 👀

OC is hiring students right now. Different roles across Kelowna, Penticton and Salmon Arm, from peer mentors to research assistants to a digital content creator.
Yes, someone gets paid to make content for OC. (On this platform, working with the person typing this out! Yes!!)

Your coworkers could just be your classmates, so everyone can go for the 7 a.m. coffee run together, then study in the library after work!

Swipe to see what's open and when each one closes. Some go fast. (Come work with me!!)
