Check out Sterling College's latest contribution to sustainability in sports! 🌿
We had a blast participating in the BKL Festival held at our neighboring Craftsbury Outdoor Center. 🤩 Sterling College was on-site offering gear repair, and it was a huge success! 🙌🏽 We even had to shut down intake because we got so much gear to fix. 🔧💼

Increasing the longevity of your gear is essential to conversations about protecting our winters and sustainability in sports. 🌡️🌬️ The apparel and footwear industries generate 8-10% of global carbon emissions. 😱

Thanks to all who stopped by and helped make this such a success! 💚🌍 #Sustainability #GearRepair #ProtectOurWinters #BKLfestival #CraftsburyOutdoorCenter #SterlingCollege 🎿🔧🏔️👍🏽

In the Work Program, you learn tools of the trade, such as how to operate industrial kitchen equipment, best practices for operating heavy machinery, and proper body mechanics on the job. You participate in All College Work Day each semester, when all students and staff roll up their sleeves and tackle big projects together.

As you gain field experience, you also earn responsibility. Junior and Senior Crew Leaders run the ecology lab and aspects of the farm. In the Work Program, you’re autonomous but supported.

There’s no one holding your hand.

And there’s no one holding you back.

At Sterling College, students participate in a comprehensive work-learning service program as part of the Work College Consortium. Working and studying together not only significantly reduces your tuition but it deepens your education by letting you test theories, see results, and make your mark on campus.

While you’re at Sterling, working five to seven hours a week builds your resume and positions you to step into the career of your choice when you graduate. In fact, 80% of BA alumnx felt better prepared for work because of the Work Program. Improved work ethic was the second-top practical skill credited to the Sterling experience by its alumnx.
