school to the Welland Campus on September 28.<\/p>\n<p>Visiting students from high schools across Niagara and beyond had the opportunity to explore program offerings across NC&#8217;s schools of study, and roster of student services. While NC&#8217;s interactive booths stole the show as the host stop on the tour, the event also featured 23 visiting institutions &#8211; transforming the Simplii Financial Athletic Centre to a one-stop shop for college opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Seeing 1,100 students come out here today is exactly what we want,&#8221; said Ian Aikenhead Director of Recruitment. &#8220;We have one of the biggest stops on the CIP tour. You can really see the buy-in from our faculty and student services &#8211; having their booths be so engaging &#8211; which really helps get prospective students ask questions and get involved.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Across the floor, engagement was on full display. At the School of Technology booth, students marveled at a search -and-rescue drone alongside smaller specialized units. Christina Simionescu, a professor in the College&#8217;s new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/technology\/program\/defence-systems-engineering-technology\/\">Defense System Engineering Technology<\/a> (three-year advanced diploma)and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/technology\/program\/defence-systems-engineering-technician\/\">Defense System Engineering Technician <\/a>(two-year diploma) programs, highlighted the explosive demand for their graduates in sectors ranging from agriculture to power line inspection.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The applications are so large, the industry is booming,&#8221; she said. &#8220;They&#8217;re asking for students.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nearby, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/technology\/program\/mechanical-engineering-technology\/\">Mechanical Engineering Technology (Co-op)<\/a>program coordinator Aaron Shatkosky used a bright orange 3D printed robotic arm to demonstrate complex mechanical functions. The equipment caught the attention of passersby interested in learning more about what it was and how it worked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I always say, Mechanical Engineering is perfectly suited for the type of students who, when they were kids, liked to take their toys apart,&#8221; said Shatkosky.<\/p>\n<p>Visitors lined up to spin a colourful wheel at the School of Hospitality booth to learn more about the variety of programs &#8211; from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/hospitalityandtourism\/program\/event-management\/\">Event Management<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/hospitalityandtourism\/program\/esthetician\/\">Esthetician<\/a> &#8211; while steady foot traffic around the School of Trades reflected a widespread cultural shift toward hands on careers, according to staff and faculty behind the booth.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Students are realizing more that they can build stuff, they can use their hands, they could do those things for a living,&#8221; said School of Trades Professor Alex Luckas.<\/p>\n<p>For participating NC faculty and staff, the goal of the day was simpler: helping students visualize their future. Surrounded by lush plants from the teaching greenhouse, James Boesch, Associate Dean of Environment and Horticulture, welcomed the opportunity to connect with prospective students.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not about convincing students to come to one program or another,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s more about listening, finding out what their passions are, and helping them see themselves 10 years from now in a career that&#8217;s going to fulfill them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With the OCAS application portal now officially open, NC&#8217;s recruitment team&#8217;s next major milestone is welcoming these prospective students to both the Welland and Daniel J. Patterson Campuses for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagaracollege.ca\/openhouse\/\">Fall Open House<\/a> on Saturday, November 7 (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.)<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the recruitment team will continue the College Information Program tour across the province, which runs until October 30.<\/p>\n<h4>Snapshots from 2026 CIP tour at NC<\/h4>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1
