"After finishing the Adult Basic Education program at NEC successfully, where I experienced support and where the sense of culture is incorporated into college life. I'm grateful to be enrolled in the Office Administration & Employment Training program right now, which will help me become ready for a future in a work place "
"Native education college was the first place in Vancouver where I felt the seen and heard within an urban indigenous space. Taking the IABE program was a great introduction to help me succeed in the FCC certificate program. NEC has help me realize my own strengths and gifts within myself. It feels full circle to be back working at the college as the Wellness Warrior Coordinator. Creating a safe space for students to be themselves also to be a bridge to introduce them to culture and traditions through my own teaching's."
"I chose NEC because it has a solid cultural basis and it was an excellent environment for me to start; I didn't feel welcome in society, and I wanted to feel safe and connected. I studied for the Indigenous Justice Certificate because I wanted to empower my community and help them re-connect. NEC has given me all the knowledge & resources I needed to work in the justice field. I'm currently working for Native Court Workers & Counselling Association of BC"
