Assiniboine College and Northwestern Polytechnic have each announced new certificate programs. Assiniboine’s Peters School of Business has replaced some of its diploma programming with three certificate programs that it says are more efficient, hands-on and aligned with industry needs. The accelerated timeline of the program will help graduates to enter the workforce sooner with the skills and confidence they need to make an impact. NWP is collaborating with Aquatera Utilities to offer a 12-month Water and Wastewater Technician certificate program that includes online learning, in-person hands-on learning opportunities, and a WIL component in the industry. The program can also be taken as individual classes for continuing education unit credits through the Government of Alberta’s related certification program.
