About This Event
Under the theme Stronger Together, the British Columbia Career Colleges Association (BCCCA) Spring Conference brings private training institutions from across British Columbia together for two days of learning, dialogue, and collaboration.
This annual event features regulatory updates, expert panels, keynote presentations, and focused discussions on the issues shaping our sector — including student aid, quality assurance, online education, and managing change.
At a time of evolving policy and growing expectations, connection and collective insight matter more than ever. This conference provides an opportunity to engage directly with regulators, policymakers, and sector leaders, while strengthening relationships with colleagues from across the province.
We look forward to welcoming you as we come together to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and move forward — stronger together.
