In areas of the province where there are no nearby post-secondary institutions, four community consortia operate. These are associations of post-secondary institutions working with community members, and sometimes other educational partners, to provide post-secondary opportunities for local residents.
Types of programs offered include: business, academic, administration, trades and university transfer. For more information, contact the community consortia in your area.
