Assiniboine College is looking to further respond to rural training needs in MB with new support from the Association of Manitoba Municipalities (AMM) and a partnership with the Rural Municipality of Ritchot. The Brandon Sun reports that AMM recently passed a resolution to call on the Government of Manitoba to expand access to education on several fronts, including by fast-tracking the launch of the college’s forthcoming laboratory and X-ray technology program. Steinbach Online reports that the college and Ritchot have formalized a long-term partnership focused on access to PSE, employment services, and skills training. Early discussions between the partners are focused on bringing Early Childhood Education and trades programming to the region.
