Ms. Philippa also highlighted the well-rounded college experience and a hybrid learning model which Lambton College has specifically designed for its students to provide them with experiential learning which include the main building of the college also known as Queen’s college. We also met a couple of students that were coming in for studies and practical projects from technical courses during the tour. We were shown the cafeteria area and the common rooms where the students can relax and study. Due to the COVID-19 at that time all the classes were online, and the college was hoping for everything to get back to normal.
At the end of the day, we came into one of the classrooms where the question and answering session was held and we can get clarification of a couple confusion. We were also informed of a few famous programs like Health Care Diploma, Computer Diploma and Business Management Diploma that has gained tremendous popularity among the students and industry. These programs are granted and delivered by Queen’s College. Graduates use their problem solving and critical thinking skills to analyze the problem and develop solutions for enterprise. We also got clarification that where do most of the international student come form in Lambton college. We also asked for a couple marketing materials so that we can give them to admitting students from our side. As well as got clarification of the use of Lambton marking materials and its compliance regulations as well. The main issue that was highlighted by Lambton college was housing issue that is where we came in with our expertise of Mr. Azhar Abrar as an expert Realtor in our team. The issue they had was that majority of their international students were from one region of the sub-continent, where we were focusing mostly on the whole South-East Asia sub-continent, middle east, and other parts of the world as well. We also offered them faculty exchange and part time faculty teaching facility as well if they needed any.
