Niagara College Suwon (NC Suwon) will celebrate many milestones this year. While NC Canada gets ready to welcome its largest cohort for the Fall 2021 term, NC is proud to see our first graduate complete the full pathway program.
Originally from Korea, Jooyong Cha was the first NC Suwon student to transfer to NC Canada after completing level four of NC’s English for Academic Preparation (EAP) program. Cha went on to complete level five of the EAP program in Canada and enrolled in the Hairstyling program. This past June, Cha graduated, making him the first graduate to complete the pathway between NC Suwon and NC Canada.
“NC Suwon helped me adapt and transition smoothly to the Hairstyling program at NC,” said Cha. “The experience at NC Suwon helped me to better adapt to the unfamiliarity of Canadian life, and made it easier for me to make the transition even when I was studying at Niagara College.”
The very same month he graduated, Cha began apprenticing at a hair salon in St. Catharines.
“Niagara College life helped me adapt to the new environment I was faced with by getting a job at a hair salon, and the hairstyling skills I learned in college laid the foundation.”
Cha is applying the communication skills he learned at NC Suwon to interacting with his clients and colleagues.
This Fall term, Niagara College Canada expects to welcome more students through the NC Suwon pathway, furthering NC’s reputation as Canada’s global college.
