Longstanding partners Portage College and the City of Cold Lake have announced two new sets of programming to serve their region’s needs. Under a new Memorandum of Understanding, Portage will provide micro-credential training to Cold Lake municipal staff and officials into 2027. Staff and officials will be able to enrol in one complimentary course per year. The partners have also purchased an Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Structures (AME-S) curriculum and intend to co-develop an aircraft maintenance school in the region. “We understand the regional, provincial, and national demand for AME-S training and are eager to begin working on building a high-quality program in collaboration with the City,” said Portage VP of Academic and Research Dr Donna Feledichuk.
