Why Lakeland?

Practical education, real world results

Your education is more powerful when it’s real.

Lakeland College was founded on the belief that students learn best through action.

Hands-on learning has always been our focus.

With 50-plus programs to choose from, including certificates, diplomas, degrees, trades and more, go beyond the classroom at Lakeland.

We’ll prepare you for what comes after graduation, because the real world doesn’t wait.

Get ready for the real world

Both of our campuses – one in Vermilion and one in Lloydminster – are home to modern facilities, labs, and industry environments where you can learn, lead and manage.

Our students thrive because their instructors trust them to think, learn and act for themselves. That sense of trust empowers them, leading to confident, collaborative graduates who know they are ready to excel in their chosen fields-–and in life.

Our straightforward approach to a practical education gives you real-world results. In fact, you’ll be in demand.
