The ESGVROP/TC has gained the support and assistance of business in its development of off-campus training, by obtaining agreements to provide workplace learning in community sites each year. The ESGVROP/TC uses over 250 business and community work sites to assist in student workplace training.
  Approximately 4,798 students had the opportunity to participate in an ROP/TC workplace learning experience. This provided the opportunity to apply both the technical and academic skills learned in the classroom directly in a business environment, reinforcing them in a real work setting. In addition, new skills and knowledge are attained at the worksite and practiced on the job. Students gain self-esteem, maturity and an understanding of the need for academics and further education.
