History
Established in 2011, PLC began by focusing on language instruction, which to this day is offered to international students. After opening its first career-centered campus in Guildford, Surrey, British Columbia, PLC quickly opened its second campus in neighboring Burnaby as we saw the rapid expansion of the college recruiting and support teams across the globe.
Partnerships
PLC works with multiple academic partners in Canada and worldwide. In Canada, PLC works with language schools and cultural institutions, as well as post secondary institutions. We were the first to have a limited-term partnership with the Centre for Digital Media in Vancouver in which PLC students got to experience prototyping digital strategies as part of a creative exchange. Current partners include Corpus Christi College and Trinity Western University. PLC also has multiple institutional partners across the globe, as well as offices in key strategic regions.
Future Plan and Vision
At Pacific Link College, our vision is to be a leading educational institution that inspires and transforms lives through innovative and personalized learning experiences. We aspire to create a vibrant and dynamic learning community that fosters excellence in education and innovation. Our goal is to provide a supportive and inclusive environment that encourages creativity, collaboration, and lifelong learning. We envision our graduates as global citizens who are leaders in their fields, contributing to the betterment of society and the world. We strive to be recognized for our commitment to excellence, academic integrity, and social responsibility, and to be a catalyst for positive change in education and beyond. We aim to create a brighter future for our students, our community, and the world through special scholarships such as Scholarships for Refugees in association with UNHCR as well as scholarships to Indigenous People in the Philippines and other countries.
