Students in these four-year postsecondary programs spend two days a week as paid apprentices with local industry and three days a week in class. Currently there are 8 companies involved in this program, providing students with excellent academic and work experience. The Colleges' partnerships also extend to other education providers. Sixty eight students are presently registered in the Traditional Aboriginal Healing Methods and the Early Childhood Education Program. St. Clair's five machine shops run five nights a week and Saturdays to keep up with the demand for apprenticeship in-school training.
Partnerships happen in a variety of ways.
Our numerous agreements with other colleges and universities, give students full credit transfers to other educational institutions. What a great way to expand your learning horizons.
