Medicine Hat College

The best place to be if you are into getting a high paying side hustle. The hours are short only 8 hours in a day for 5 days for a total of 40 hours. So you should be on your toes in order to be everywhere at the right time. And in doing so, you get the chance to see your students interact with their residents. Being the preceptor for this practicum, it is my job to make sure that these interactions are done in the appropriate manner especially when care is being provided in the performance of the resident's AADLs. I have to make sure to explain, elaborate or even act out the importance of the caregiver roll to these students who are exposed to this real life experiences for the very first time. 40 hours seems to be a long time but it is not. for me anyway. So I must make sure that I impart to each student the proper morals and values one must have in caring for the elderly. Such as always be treating them with the utmost respect. Quite simple indeed if you take the Golden Rule into heart. DO NOT DO TO OTHERS WHAT YOU DO NOT WANT OTHERS DO UNTO YOU! 

This is a very unstable place. The management team is weak and the executive team is very curupt. In the time I was there the amount of human rights violations I witnessed made it too uncomfortable to stay. They pay very poorly for what they expect of the employees. It broke my heart to see post secondary students and front line employees struggling well executives and management get raise upon raise and advocate for more money to "support students". No training or support was offered to new staff but the expectations were high. I found many community resources unwilling to work with the college based on past experiences. There are amazing places to work in this city I would suggest staying away from this one.

You would think that a government funded college would have processes to determine whether or not members of the Administration and/or Faculty have legitimate degrees. 

Perhaps those responsible are turning a blind eye. 

During my tenure there were a few occurrences of employees possessing fake degrees. A simple Google search would classify some of these institutions as "Degree Mills" and even the CBC Marketplace did a piece on this last year. 

It is an absolute disservice to both the community at large and the students to have Management and/or Instructors (even Deans for that matter) that either have a fake degree or no education at all. 

It's a shame that this is allowed to happen.

Worked for a year at Medicine Hat College. Though the college would like to say it has turned a new page with regards to transparency it is still rife with favoritism and harassment. 

It does not matter how good your work ethic is and how well you perform. If you are not in your supervisor's immediate circle they will not even have the decency to give you a performance review or include you in any decision making related to your classes. 

Expect to see displays of favoritism towards certain employees and visible, open forms of harassment towards unfavored employees in this workplace should you choose to work here.

The College was a good place to work with great support from management and co-workers. The A.B.L.E program was an excellent program set up to help immigrants improve their English speaking skills. It was a rewarding and much needed program which I enjoyed not only working but also volunteering for. 
I answered phones and emails for the program head and recruited and scheduled volunteer tutors and ESL students. I have extensive experience working with Microsoft Word, Excel, and Power Point. I was responsible for creating and maintaining a Facebook Page and a monthly newsletter to promote the A.B.L.E Program.

A typical day of work consisted of going in for a rehearsal once a week.  I learned how amazing working with kids can be as well as sharpened my accompanying skills in piano.  The management was great for that time in my life.  I was incredibly busy so this job was perfect with it being flexible to my time when I was away for competitions.  The hardest part of this job was definitely learning the music on the spot.  This however was an incredibly beneficial learning experience for me.  The most enjoyable part was working with the conductor and creating music.

Tasks were easily accomplished and well determined. Supervisor lacked leadership, management skills, and organizational skills where there was a discrepancy on dealing and communicating with other employees as well as motivating, politely, and properly delegating tasks.

It was a great place to work while being part of the Basketball team and taking a heavy load of classes. Unfortunately there was not much to learn from the job to improve my professional experiences, but it clearly helped cover my monthly expenses to live.

A typical day was pleasant with reasonable workload.

I have learned about Canadian and Chinese international education related regulations and protocols.

The management was professional in general.

The workplace culture was encouraging, supportive and understanding.

The hardest part of the job was that there was an agent in China trying to use me as a free translator for his other business. 

The most enjoyable part of the job was to initiate, negotiate and form new programs.

Detailed operation and preventative maintenance of turbines, pumps, motors, condensers and compressors. 
Practical understanding and operations of cooling water systems, high and low pressure steam systems, boiler feed water systems and deaerators. 
Extensive working knowledge and preventative maintenance of fire tube and water tube boilers, packaged and field erected, including interlocks. 
Vast comprehension of water treatment systems and tests, and adjusting chemical feeds appropriately
