Apply what you learn through workplace experience or a substantial academic project, depending on your program option.
Diploma students complete a co-op work placement after the study term. Positions are typically entry level, helping students build experience from the ground up. Tamwood's work placement coordinators provide job-search assistance, connect students with employers and continue supporting them throughout the program.
The Capstone Project is an academic project in which students select a topic connected to their studies and field of work. The project is submitted as a final written report or presentation.
Through the process of selecting, researching and completing the project, students practise valuable workplace skills sought by employers.
All programs are currently only available in Vancouver.

For Vancouver: this program has been approved by the Private Training Institutions Regulatory Unit (PTIRU) of the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills.
