Since our college incorporation in 1971, Camosun has reflected society’s evolving economic realities and social priorities. With a new president at the helm and a strategic plan ready to launch, our continued focus on student success remains fresh and relevant now, even after 45 years of life-changing learning. FIRST NATIONS TERRITORIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT It is with deep respect and gratitude that Camosun College learners, teachers, support staff and leadership acknowledge the traditional territories of the Lkwungen, Esquimalt, and W ̱SÁNEĆ peoples. We are all enriched by the gracious welcome and friendship extended to the learning community who seek to exchange knowledge here, and by the beauty of the land on which we learn, work, and live. Camosun serves the communities of southern Vancouver Island and the south Gulf Islands that are located in the traditional territories of the Esquimalt, Lkwungen (Esquimalt and Songhees), Malahat, Pacheedaht, Scia’new, T’Sou-ke and W ̱SÁNEĆ (Pauquachin, Tsartlip, Tsawout, Tseycum) peoples. 4 Camosun College | Inspiring life-changing learning 2015/16 Accountability Plan and Report 5 6 Camosun College | Inspiring life-changing learning partner sites 160 programs of former Camosun students are either employed or pursuing further studies approximately 2,000 Camosun students move on to other BC post-secondary institutes 19,000+ INDIGENOUS EDUCATION 2 campuses 5 community learning 91% 1,100 Indigenous students of First Nations, Métis and Inuit ancestry 179 people have completed the course TELTIN TTE WILNEW – Understanding Indigenous Peoples 59 Camosun College courses with Indigenous content integrated into curriculum learners each year $17.5 million 1,600 International registrants from 80 countries approximately 15% of Camosun students transfer from other BC post-secondary institutes 50% of Camosun students are within 5-years of high school graduation in Camosun Foundation assets IMPACT We are proud to be among BC’s 25 public postsecondary institutions, amplifying the impact of taxpayer investments by preparing tomorrow’s work force with the knowledge, skills and values to seize opportunities and to contribute to society.

After discussion and collaboration to gather input on our priorities, our strategic plan was approved by the Board of Governors in March, 2016. The refreshed strategic plan represents a truly “made in Camosun” project, with a vision, values and goals that reflect our community and give us a road map for where we need to go as a college, and why. And, our plan clearly identifies our priorities to support our decisionmaking processes for the next five years, 2016-2021. CAMOSUN’S PRIORITIES UNDER PRESIDENT BELL OUR VISION Inspiring life-changing learning Mental health strategy OUR MISSION A renewed focus on the student experience We build a better future for our community with relevant, innovative and applied education. TRC CAMOSUN RESPONDS Creativity and innovation 8 Camosun College | Inspiring life-changing learning Indigenization and Camosun’s response to the TRC calls to action 2015/16 Accountability Plan and Report 9 KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS Our accomplishments and highlights demonstrate our strategic priorities, and give a snapshot of the scope of our influence with students and the broader community where we have the privilege to work. INDIGENOUS EDUCATION , Camosun’s Centre of Indigenous Education and Community Connections, is leading Camosun in a college-wide, multi-phase process to become a fully Indigenized organization. Indigenization is the process by which Indigenous ways of knowing, being, doing and relating are incorporated into the educational, organizational, cultural and social structures of Camosun College. Indigenization & Camosun’s response to the TRC Calls to Action NEW SPACES Camosun’s new 80,000 sq. ft. Trades Education and Innovation Centre opened in February, 2016. The facility is modern, practical and beautiful, and provides students on Vancouver Island with more opportunities to train for in-demand trades careers. “It is part of our vision to ensure local trades students have the most up-to-date skills, technology and facilities available to prepare them in meeting emerging marketplace and industry demands,” says President Bell. 10 Camosun College | Inspiring life-changing learning The new building expands our training spaces by 370 fulltime equivalent seats, and can provide access to more than 3,000 students per year in 20 different trades foundation and apprenticeship programs. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action document illuminates the legacy and impact of residential schools in Canada and, with four key themes related to reconciliation and education, serves to galvanize action in colleges and communities across the country. In 2015 Camosun struck a cross-college task force and steering committee to develop a response plan based on our commitment to redress the legacy of residential schools and to advance the process of reconciliation. The response plan links the TRC Calls to Action and the Camosun Indigenization priorities: curriculum processes, employee education, services to students, and policy and planning. 2015/16 Accountability Plan and Report 11 KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS A RENEWED FOCUS ON THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE An executive restructure last fall supports our fresh focus on student success, and advances our mission to build a better future for our community with relevant, innovative and applied education. The new executive will steward the college as we implement our strategic plan and work towards our top priorities and obligations. STUDENT EXPERIENCE DIVISION Student success depends on integrated services, and a wholesome campus community. The new Student Experience office oversees the supports that enrich student experiences and inspire enduring student success for healthy communities, engaged citizens and a robust economy. PARTNERSHIPS DIVISION Camosun’s education services extend well beyond the traditional classroom by forming partnerships that drive local social and economic development and offer applied learning opportunities for students. The new Partnerships Division includes Camosun Innovates, the focal point for applied research, social innovation and sport innovation that enhance the interdisciplinary education of Camosun students and benefit our local economic development. Other partnerships include International Education, Contract and Customized Training, Advancement Services and the Camosun College Foundation, which links students with generous benefactors and, in turn, enhances the student experience. 12 Camosun College | Inspiring life-changing learning INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION FOSTERS A DIVERSIFIED CAMPUS COMMUNITY Camosun recognizes, welcomes and invites the different cultural identities and perspectives expressed by students, staff, faculty and visitors. By striving for mutual understanding and respect, we empower international students and positively impact domestic learners. By supporting international students on campus, and global field school excursions abroad, we enrich the intercultural experiences of our entire college community. This cultural investment yields a sustainable, globalized community, expanding global perspectives and building cultural competencies. CAMOSUN DELIVERS ON PROMISE TO BUILD INDIA’S SPORT SKILLS PROGRAM Less than a year after signing a pioneering agreement to develop a national sport skills training program in India, Camosun signed a seven-year partnership agreement with Jain University in Bangalore. Students who complete the Camosun-developed Sport Management and Exercise and Wellness programs in Bangalore will have the option to transfer to Camosun to complete related degrees, diplomas and post-degree diplomas. CAMOSUN STUDENTS RAISE FUNDS FOR BOLIVIAN ANIMAL REFUGE Nevin Harper is passionate about experiential, outdoor adventure education. “The value for me is in the hidden curriculum,” says the Camosun sport management instructor who led 19 students on a field school to Bolivia. “It’s about expanding global perspectives and intellectual growth through exposure to different cultures and new forms of knowledge,” says Nevin. 2015/16 Accountability Plan and Report 13 KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION The words creativity and innovation are a rallying call to Camosun educators, inspiring ingenuity, imagination, scholarly inquiry, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. The call for submissions to the new Creativity and Innovation Grants resulted in projects as diverse as Thermal Energy Storage Technology and a Comic Arts Festival. The winning submissions all embrace student experience as a core purpose, engage cross-discipline teams, and lead to innovation or change that can be sustained beyond the project time frame. 14 Camosun College | Inspiring life-changing learning ADDRESSING A PRESSING NEED FOR HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL SERVICES Camosun is a leader in preparing students to contribute as team members across the spectrum of the caring professions. As our communities grow and our population ages, the demand for health care practitioners and community support services has never been greater. Between 2000 and 2014, employment growth in the health sector averaged 2.5 percent per year—more than twice the rate of population growth, due in part to an aging population. Between 2014 and 2024, we expect demand to grow at an average rate of 1.9 percent per year. 2015/16 Accountability Plan and Report 15 FACULTY WHO INSPIRE BY EXAMPLE SPOTLIGHT ON STUDENTS Ancestor’s legacy inspires documentary film Andy Bryce was fascinated to discover his ancestor was one of the few senior Canadian officials to take a courageous stand against government-sanctioned residential schools.

Students gain hands-on skills through applied learning activities like co-operative education, practicum placements, service projects and apprenticeship employment. Conversely, there are ample opportunities for the community to contribute to Camosun through advisory councils, the Elders Voices project, the Camosun College Foundation or signature initiatives like the TRADEmark of Excellence capital campaign, co-chaired by renowned philanthropists Lynda and Murray Farmer. The Province of BC supported newcomers to Victoria looking for work with $210,992 towards English language training for high-demand jobs. Western Economic Diversification Canada supports Camosun’s Interaction Lab for Innovation and Testing with a $1.56 million grant. Camosun’s TRADEmark of Excellence Campaign nears completion By harnessing the strength of a campaign cabinet representing the who’s who of pioneering business families and local entrepreneurs, the TRADEmark campaign has raised millions of dollars to enhance trades programs and put the latest classroom materials and teaching technology into the hands of our trades students. Legacy donation benefits horticulture students Students help build local Habitat for Humanity project Staff and faculty respond to employee engagement survey Camosun’s horticulture students will be inspired to continue the legacy of farming and food production that was a mainstay of the Saanich economy for decades, thanks to a generous donation by Saanich Fruit Growers Association to the Camosun College Foundation. Camosun’s Carpentry Foundation students gave back, working on a local building project with Habitat for Humanity Victoria. A class of 28 entry-level students trained on site, constructing the footings, foundation, frame, floors and walls of a new townhouse four-plex on Cedar Hill Cross Rd. in Saanich. Measuring employee engagement and satisfaction was identified as the top priority during college-wide People Plan consultations. Camosun’s overall engagement score is 76 out of a possible 100 points—a result that places us within the category of fully engaged as an organization. 18 Camosun College | Inspiring life-changing learning Students looking to upgrade basic academic and English as a Second Language skills can still do so, thanks to grants and awards from Ministry of Advanced Education and the Camosun College Foundation. ALIGNING OUR EDUCATION SERVICES WITH DEMAND AND OPPORTUNITY The Minister of Advanced Education announced Camosun would receive $496,000 to reduce waitlists in critical trades training programs. 2015/16 Accountability Plan and Report 19 PERFORMANCE MEASURES AND RESULTS SELECT OCCUPATIONS THAT REQUIRE POST-SECONDARY TRAINING Source: WorkBC 2024 Labour Market Outlook High opportunity occupations that require post-secondary training How Camosun responds with direct or transferrable programs Camosun fills a valuable niche in the post-secondary environment, delivering quality learning with practical outcomes: career options, transferrable skills, and transition paths to further postsecondary education.

The Provincial Government’s 2024 Labour Market Outlook indicates more than 78% of job openings will require some post-secondary education and training. Opportunities are predicted in financial services, technology, hospitality management, health care, social services, office administration and early learning and care. The health sector is one of the largest and fastest growing in British Columbia, employing 210,000 people in 2014. The largest share of these (about 170,000) provides publicly insured medical and paramedical care in community, ambulatory, acute and residential care settings. 20 Camosun College | Inspiring life-changing learning Priority health professions Nurse: licensed, registered, specialty, and nurse practitioner Nursing degree and Licensed Nurse Practitioner diploma Physiotherapist and Occupational Therapist University Transfer towards a degree; Bachelor of Athletic & Exercise Therapy Respiratory Therapist University Transfer towards a BSc degree Medical Laboratory Technologist Medical Laboratory Assistant certificate Health Care Assistant/Care Aid Health Care Assistant certificate Physician—general and specialist Pre-med applied degree; University Transfer courses towards a preparatory degree 2015/16 Accountability Plan and Report 21 PROFILE OF CAMOSUN’S STUDENTS FUTURE POPULATION TRENDS Examining the breakdown of Camosun College students shows the breadth and diversity of the college. FTE activity can be divided into three main areas: activity for the Ministry of Advanced Education (AVED) target; activity for the Industry Training Authority (ITA) target; and activity for International Students. Camosun remained relatively consistent with AVED and ITA FTE counts, and saw a large increase with respect to International Student FTEs. Camosun College closely monitors the current and projected population of its region. Although there is an increasing number of International students, most of Camosun’s students come from the Capital Regional District (CRD). Population projections are created by BC Stats and used for the long-term strategic planning of post-secondary institutions. The larger the projected growth rate of the CRD’s population, the higher the likelihood more students will register at Camosun.

Awaiting data from the Ministry of Advanced Education regarding Aboriginal students who do not self-identify at Camosun College, but have self-identified during their K-12 education. The most important finding when looking at CRD projections is the drop in the population aged 18-24, traditionally the age group of the majority of prospective college students. The adjacent chart presents projected population levels by age group over the 10-year period from 2015 to 2025. The age group with the largest projected growth rate is the age 65+ population group at 41.1%. The 18 to 24 age group is expected to decline by 9.9% over the next ten years. The 25 to 64 age group is projected to be essentially the same going forward. An increase is projected for the youngest age group, 0 to 17, with an 11.0% growth rate. This rate is close to the 11.3% projected growth rate for the CRD population overall, forecasted to move to 418,903 from 376,317.
