The Centre for Experiential Learning has several resources and programs to help students in their co-curricular, academic, and career journey!
CEL Resources for Students
The VIU Career Studio, located in Building 255, Room 204 operates as a physical space and virtual hub where students from all programs can find career development education, support and resources. The Career Studio offers drop-in services, workshops, specialized appointments, preparation for job search, and puts on career fairs and other events to help connect students with employers.

Overseen by the Office of Co-Curricular Engagement and Learning, the Co-Curricular Record (CCR) encourages you to experience more holistic academic and career development by building upon your accumulating skills and experiences. CCR aims at giving you a practical experience to learn, which will in turn build and recognize your employability skills.
Your CCR is your non-academic transcript. The CCR recognizes both paid and volunteer experiences. Submit your CCR reflection in a matter of minutes and get credit for your campus experiences. You can access your CCR through VIU’s Co-Curricular Involvement App.
Experience Hub is the Centre for Experiential Learning's online career, work-integrated learning, student employment, experiential learning, and student services platform that connects in-class learning with real world work experiences and opportunities. Designed to promote success by supporting students with relevant experiential learning, meaningful career opportunities and access to essential services, Experience Hub offers on and off-campus job postings, event calendars, career and advising appointments, work-integrated learning and experiential modules and more. The platform also supports staff/faculty and community partners with their needs for engaging students.
