Collège Boréal is strengthening the Francophone early childhood education sector through two initiatives that have received over $1M in funding from the City of Toronto and the Commission nationale des parents francophones. In the first initiative, Boréal will work with Collège La Cité to help international professionals become certified in Canada. This will include language support, funding to cover tuition fees, and the facilitation of the recognition of prior learning. Boréal also partnered with the City of Toronto, Centennial College, George Brown College, Mothercraft, and Seneca Polytechnic to develop four early childhood education workshops for staff who work in eligible educational settings or with child-care agencies. Boréal will offer these workshops in French through a $220K grant.
