On September 24, 2026, colleagues from across ISSofBC came together at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown for the annual All-Staff Celebration—a joyful afternoon dedicated to connection, appreciation, and the people who make our work possible.
For the ISS Language and Career College of BC (LCC), the celebration was an opportunity to recognize the energy, expertise, and care our team brings to learners every day. As part of ISSofBC, LCC supports newcomers and diverse communities through English as a Second Language (ESL) programs and practical skills training designed to build confidence, strengthen workplace skills, and support better career opportunities.
Celebrating Connection, Learning, and Career Growth
The 2026 All-Staff Celebration brought colleagues together over a light lunch, creating time to reconnect beyond our everyday roles and locations. The atmosphere reflected what makes our organization special: collaboration, shared purpose, and a commitment to helping people learn, grow, and thrive in British Columbia.
That spirit is at the heart of LCC. Our flexible ESL programs help learners strengthen their English for everyday life, further education, and the workplace. Our skills and career training offers practical, job-ready learning in areas such as business, leadership, TESOL, digital marketing, and office operations. Together, these learning pathways help students build real-world skills and move forward with greater confidence in their careers.
What Does LCC Offer?
LCC provides English language and career-focused training for learners at different stages of their journeys. Programs include flexible ESL options as well as short-term and longer-term skills training, with learning formats designed to meet varied student needs.
Whether someone wants to improve their English, gain practical workplace skills, earn a career-focused credential, or prepare for a new professional opportunity, LCC aims to make learning supportive, relevant, and connected to real career goals.
Proud to Be Part of ISSofBC
The All-Staff Celebration was also a reminder that LCC is part of a wider organization with a long-standing commitment to newcomers and diverse communities. That shared foundation inspires our work and strengthens our ability to create welcoming learning experiences that connect language, skills, confidence, and career development.
A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who organized the 2026 All-Staff Celebration and to all the colleagues who brought their enthusiasm and team spirit to the day. We are proud to celebrate the people behind our programs—and excited to keep helping learners build stronger English, practical skills, and brighter career pathways.
Here’s to another year of learning, growing, connecting, and celebrating together!
