Information Sessions & Tours

The info session on Feb. 8, 2012 has been postponed to Thursday, February 16. On this day, the ASL & Deaf studies department is also hosting an open house from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. All are welcome.

Talk with your hands.  Learn a new language.  Become an ally to the Deaf community.

Expand your career opportunities and communicate better with Deaf friends, family members, clientele and colleagues. VCC's American Sign Language and Deaf studies program provides you with a solid foundation in ASL and Deaf awareness for use in the workplace, everyday life or wherever you encounter Deaf people.

Sign language interpreting is a career in great demand and ASL skills are a unique asset in the social work, education, counselling, health services and community support fields.  As communication technology advances and access for Deaf people becomes more widespread, career opportunities are growing for interpreters.

Join us at an information session to meet instructors, learn about the program, discuss career opportunities, and learn how to apply. This session will be held at VCC's Broadway campus, 1155 East Broadway at Glen Drive, one block west of Clark Drive and across from VCC/Clark SkyTrain station.
