Saskatchewan Polytechnic has partnered with Northwest Community College to bring a Warehouse Worker program to Prince Rupert, BC. It provides online and video conference training to Indigenous students in northern British Columbia. The co-operative program is being provided to 12 students with training taking place over a 24 week period. Sask Polytech President and CEO Dr. Larry Rosia says, “Delivering training through two-way video conferencing and online curriculum is a first for NWCC and Sask Polytech.”
Last month Polytech signed a letter of intent with Confederation College in Northwest Ontario. That agreement has the two institutions working together to recognize and share strengths and wise practices in Indigenous post-secondary education. The letter of intent will have them working together for the next five years.
