MITT to close doors, transfer some programming to RRC Polytech

Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology will be closing its doors in August after a decision by the Government of Manitoba. MITT announced the news on Wednesday, citing a 55% drop in international enrolment that it connected to the IRCC’s changes to the international student program. In a memo, the institution stated that these changes “have created uncertainty for students and post-secondary institutions across Canada and sent a message abroad that international students aren’t valued here.” MITT will transfer some programs to Red River College Polytechnic. Current students will be able to complete their studies, with some graduating from RRC Polytech.
