LaSalle College Vancouver’s Structured Work Experience and Training (SWEAT) Program provides students with valuable work experience in a simulated creative work environment. B.C. high school students must complete 30 hours of work experience as part of their graduation requirements; however, for students who are interested in a creative career, it can be difficult to secure work hours with experience that is indicative of the challenges employees encounter in the field. SWEAT provides a valuable option for students to fulfill part of their work-study requirements while gaining valuable industry experience and understanding.

Students choose their area of interest from a wide array of industry areas: design, media arts, fashion, and culinary. Students are not passive observers—they are required to participate and are guided by faculty members who are industry professionals on a project from concept to a final product. Students use industry-related technology in a facility that bridges the gap between education and industry. Faculty members guide them through the collaborative process, mirroring the work environment that an employee might find in the industry. In addition, faculty members discuss with students the realities of working in their areas of interest.
