Red River College Polytechnic has welcomed students to its new South Winnipeg Campus, after absorbing the Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology’s programs and facilities earlier this year. Despite the change in operators, RRC Polytech spokesperson Lauren Parsons noted that the MITT signs at the South Winnipeg Campus will remain while MITT students are finishing their programs. RRC Polytech President Fred Meier explained that many positions at the campus were filled by former MITT employees or instructors. Meier also said that RRC Polytech intends to work with local school boards next fall to fill the gap created by the loss of MITT’s tuition-free vocational and technical programming for teens.
