Many post-secondary institutions promise a hands-on education, but Lakeland College goes far beyond expectations. Lakeland provides truly immersive experiences that shape futures and prepare students for the real world.
Both of our campuses – one in Vermilion and one in Lloydminster - are designed to guide students beyond the classroom, creating tangible environments where they can learn, lead and manage.
More than just practicums or work-study jobs, we create our programs with the future in mind, ensuring that after graduation, our students have the experience and knowledge to make a meaningful impact on their industries.
Lakeland learns by doing.
For example:
Through these experiences – which can be found in almost every Lakeland program – our students engage with the real world before they become part of it.
Outside the classroom, Lakeland students find many ways to grow, through athletics, clubs, performing arts, rodeo, students' associations, research, Indigenous initiatives, recreation facilities, public speaking and more.
Lakeland also supports applied research to enhance the agriculture industry’s productivity, profitability and competitiveness, support student learning outcomes, and enhance social, environmental and economic outcomes in Alberta and beyond.
Go beyond the classroom at Lakeland.
Lakeland offers programming in the areas of agricultural sciences, business, energy, environmental sciences, fire and emergency services, health and wellness, human services, interior design technology, trades and technology, university transfer and foundational learning.
In addition to the above requirements:
Proof of Standard First Aid and CPR Level C certification (valid to February 2026), or EMR course. EMR is not required for the fire specialization though it is strongly recommended. Having it may allow more options for employment as well as the flexibility to reconsider the medical specialization (if space permits).
Notes: Students must have computer application skills including word processing, preparing spreadsheets and performing web research tasks.
Those without the academic requirements may qualify for special student status (entrance screening); however, fire departments may require you to have a high school diploma.
