Camosun College and Malahat Nation have partnered on an adult education program that will prepare learners from the First Nation for postsecondary education or employment. The SOAR (Supporting Opportunities, Achievement and Resilience) program aims to provide the Mel’uxulh mustimuhw (Malahat people) with education that is tailored to their needs. The program will prepare students for roles in areas such as the trades, STEM, and management, with Camosun providing upgrading courses in English and Math. “Camosun College is excited to be a partner in the delivery of the SOAR program, especially with the opportunity to break down barriers and opening doors to education for learners in their community,” said Camosun President Dr Lane Trotter. “We want to see learners succeed and thrive.”
