Portage College will broaden its supports for learners, thanks to increased funding for its literacy and newcomer support programming. Portage recently received new and expanded grants through the Community Adult Learning Program, Peter Gzowski Foundation for Literacy, and St Paul/Elk Point Economic Development Alliance. The projects supported by the funding include a one-year program offering targeted reading instruction for adults who are non-readers or emergent readers, as well as the creation of newcomer supports in the St Paul and Elk Point region. “At Portage College, we believe that education is the key to building stronger communities and empowering individuals,” said Portage President Nancy Broadbent.
