Portage, Athabasca County partner on WIL for students, training for county employees

Portage College has partnered with Athabasca County to provide new learning opportunities for students, county employees, and councillors. The three-year partnership will see Athabasca County offering enhanced work-integrated learning opportunities to Portage students. In exchange, Portage will provide county employees and councillors with access to online learning initiatives and micro-credentials. “By integrating work and learning, we are enabling our college students to gain essential skills while simultaneously supporting Athabasca County’s workforce,” said Portage President Nancy Broadbent. “This is a powerful way to invest in the future of our community.”
