Conestoga College and the Grand Erie District School Board have partnered to launch a College-Within-a-School (CWAS) program. Through this partnership, high school students can seamlessly transition into postsecondary education at Conestoga’s Tollgate Technical Skills Centre (TTSC). The centre will undergo $5M in renovations to accommodate this change. Conestoga will relocate the programs that are currently delivered at the Brantford Airport to the TTSC and to increase its range of programming in areas such as trades training, personal support worker programming, and academic upgrading. The CWAS program is reportedly the first of its kind in Ontario and builds on existing CWAS initiatives and the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program.
