What CCTB Says About Student Work

CCTB highlights "ample part-time work opportunities" in Vancouver and points to the city's tech economy, transit access and downtown location as part of the reason students can balance work and study.

The college also supports students through career guidance, which can help them look for work that fits their program and long-term goals.

Around Downtown Vancouver

Vancouver's downtown core gives students access to hospitality, retail, office and service-sector part-time jobs. CCTB's campus sits near major transit options, which makes commuting to and from work easier than it would be in a more isolated campus setting.

For students who are in Vancouver on a permit that allows part-time work, the city can offer a good mix of income and networking opportunities.

Best Fit For Future Intakes

Because new CCTB intakes are paused for 2026, part-time job planning is mainly a future consideration. If the college reopens, students should arrive with a work schedule plan and a clear sense of how part-time work fits their class and placement commitments.

CCTB is a good fit if you want part-time work that supports a practical career-college experience in Vancouver.
