What is InspirED?

Inspire ED poster to announce new name for Continuing Studies and Corporate Training

Flexible learning for life and work

InspirED is the brand identity for OC’s Continuing Studies and Corporate Training department. It is the name Okanagan College uses to market our microcredentials, certificates, short courses and customized contract training for organizations.

It’s pronounced Inspire-Ed — as in “inspiring education.”

The name connects to OC’s Inspire Strategic Plan and reflects the inspiring work our Continuing Studies and Corporate Training teams do every day to support OC’s mission: to transform lives and communities.

Launched in 2024, InspirED is now part of OC’s official brand identity. You can learn more in our OC’s brand guidelines document.

InspirED delivers programs and courses designed to increase your skills, enhance your career and enrich your life. Courses are offered online, in-person or in flexible formats to fit your life. Explore all that InspirED has to offer at okanagan.bc.ca/inspired.

Watch this space for some inspiring education moments. Thank you all for the great work being done in support of students and the communities we serve.
