Castlegar and Grand
Forks Campuses
This program is available to students whose
academic, social, emotional and/or cognitive
skills and abilities require personal support and
assistance in order for them to actively participate
in a college setting. An Individual Educational
Plan (IEP) is developed with each student to
foster academic, personal and social skills in a
cooperative learning environment. The program
provides students with training in Math/English
upgrading, workplace skills, independent living
skills (money management, meal planning, cooking,
etc.), self-advocacy skills, personal management
skills (time management, goal settings), and
introductory computer skills.
