MEDICINE HAT, AB – If you’ve been thinking about taking classes at Medicine Hat College, there’s a virtual open house next month that might interest you.

The event on March 3 is designed for current and recent high school graduates or mature learners considering a new career path.

“We’re going to have Q and A sessions for each individual program that we offer and every program we have is going to be joining us that evening. We’re going to have virtual tours for them to explore campus as well as residence,” says Landon Heilman, student recruitment coordinator.

One exciting aspect of the virtual open house is Career Coach, says Heilman. It’s a tool for people who may be undecided to explore which programs might be a good fit for them.
