Assiniboine Community College’s Parkland Campus is offering three new programs this fall.
Applications are now being accepted for Office Management, Office Skills, and Medical Administration.
Director of the Parkland Campus, Gabe Mercier says these new programs have been a long time coming.
“We did a market research and a needs assessment for employers around six years ago. These programs will round things up very well.”
Collectively the three programs will offer 25 seats, 10 are available for Office Management, 10 for Medical Administration, and five for Office Skills.
Mercier says the goal is for Parkland residents to be able to take courses here rather than needing to live in Brandon or Winnipeg.
“I think the whole region will benefit from it. The employers will be hiring the graduates, and the graduates themselves will save money, and the money spent will remain in the Parkland region.”
The college will be hosting a free office programs online information session on Tuesday, May 25th and Monday, June 7th. More information can be found here.
