Northern Lakes College

Each day i will learn something new at NLC, I will be challenged to problem solve and work independently or in a team, I will laugh and smile and be serious or inquisitive. My Management team are supportive, and will give me challenges to stretch me to grow as an employee. Opportunities for growth in my profession are encouraged. We like to see others successful in the workplace and strive for top notch service for our clients. It never really gets hard but sometimes it can get demanding as many tasks are time sensitive. What i enjoy most about my work at NLC is the people who come to school here and the people who work here, it makes me feel good to be part of a culture where you can start here and go anywhere.

Good management team to help with props in class and great staff in work force group.

Head management not involved in daily progress made understanding adult Native learning style, he would hire instructors based on pay required with instructor little industry knowledge or teaching skills, program taken away and given to oil company after I left.

Management asked for a lot of free weekend time for me as instructor to promote the course and fund rise for functioning systems.  

My direct supervisors and co-workers were excellent.  They were understanding, accommodating and all aimed to work for the student. However, management failed to come down to the level of where the work gets done and understand the processes.  Without management knowing the processes they were unable to make good decisions to maintain high student enrolment. Quite often departments were waiting on management to make decisions and it would cause extra stressors on employees.  There is also a lot of in house noise not related to the work load which made it to be a toxic environment.  I was quite proud to work at NLC for many years but as time went on, Management changed so did the environment.

A typical day at work my be challenging as well as rewarding as a nurse.  I strive to give the best care possible to my patients.  
Responsibility of my actions, excellent patient care and using my best approaches to make clinical decisions that are positive for the care I give is important.  
I am considerate to co-workers and am a team player.
The hardest part of the job is attachment to a palliative pediatric.  
The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing when I go home, I have made a difference in my patients life.

Probably experienced the worst leadership and supervisory competence I have ever encountered. Do not appreciate people that have diverse experiences they bring with them, senior leadership does not appreciate program approval standards and accreditation approval standards requirements. Under qualified individuals think they can hold positions they have no experience or qualifications for. 

This is a great place to start an career, especially trades. I started with my academic upgrading and loved it. The hands on teachers were amazing and I am sure anyone who attends will love it as well. The move from upgrading to my first year college student was very easy and convenient. I would definitely recommend Northern Lakes College to any student.

Overall good place to work. Would like to see longer term steady time of duty. Has been a good plan working and training indigenous people. Coukd always be better and more stable staff environment 

Northern Lakes College is a good college to work for. Benefits and salaries were competitive, and teaching schedules were flexible. The teaching atmosphere was very good, and we were allowed to experiment new stuff. Teacher developments were good. we were allowed to go to teachers' conventions and development..
It is a good college to work for..

I enjoyed the job but not the isolation of a northern First Nations reserve.
I liked the honesty and humour of the students.  They showed patience with the faulty equipment.  
I had no co-workers, which was difficult.  I had to figure many things out by myself.

Good place to work. Management needs to work on communication with employees. Co-workers are what make the place pleasurable. Most courses depend on government funding and right now this is a bad thing in Alberta. Overall, it is a nice place to work and the students are willing to do whatever it takes to succeed.
