Earn While You Learn: The GROW Program

Looking to gain valuable work experience while supporting your education? Langara's GROW (Gain Real life On-campus Work experience) program, formerly known as SWAP/WOC, offers students the opportunity to work on campus alongside faculty and staff, contributing to meaningful projects and initiatives.

As a participant, you can earn income to help with tuition, living expenses, and other costs, all while building your resumé and expanding your professional network.

Students will be required to be registered in a minimum of three credits (3.9 CEUS for students in eligible CS programs) and have a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.00 or above to apply for work in the GROW program. Find out more about the GROW program here.
