Structured Work Experience and
Training | S.W.E.A.T. |
March 19–22, 2012

Why participate in S.W.E.A.T.?
The Art Institute of Vancouver’s annual S.W.E.A.T. program is a unique opportunity that provides students with valuable work experience in a simulated work environment. Particularly valuable to those high school students who are required to complete work experience as part of graduation requirements, S.W.E.A.T. allows students access to a broader range of fields, making their work experience relevant to what they really want to do.

Each year, up to 500 high school students come to S.W.E.A.T. to get a firsthand insight into their chosen field, meet creative individuals who share their passion, and enjoy a fun experience.

What will you learn?
Students will use industry-related technology in a facility that bridges the gap between education and industry. Faculty members will guide you through the collaborative process, mirroring the work environment that an employee might find in the industry. Our faculty will guide you as you learn and explore the realities of working in your chosen field.

At S.W.E.A.T., you can:

Find and pursue your passion
Learn real world communication skills
Learn critical thinking skills and a professional demeanor
Learn adaptability and responsibility
Work in teams to plan and make decisions
Plan, design, and carry out a project from start to finish with well-defined objectives and outcomes

Push yourself ahead of the curve and get a head start on your creative education.
