The Government of the Northwest Territories has announced its plans to fill the gap left by the closure of Aurora College’s 19 community learning centres. The territory will partner with a northern employment training group that will provide a four-week pre-employment program and a two-week work placement component in select communities. It is also engaged in consultations with affected communities to determine how to best use the facilities going forward. The government is planning to reopen the Yellowknife Literacy Outreach Centre, pending the engagement of a new operator, and potentially expand the literacy programming to Fort Smith and Inuvik.
