Continuing Education Provides Improved Access to Adult Learning

September 2, 2011

Yukon College’s Continuing Education and Training has developed new packaging in its delivery of adult education programs and courses that will make learning more flexible and accessible. Responding to the needs of adults with busy work schedules, Continuing Education and Training has developed tools that will facilitate lifelong learning opportunities for all Northerners.

Continuing Education and Training produced a color glossy course guide that offers both programs and courses and is available at many locations in Whitehorse, 11 community campuses, and by direct mail at certain locations. To receive a course guide by mail, interested individuals may call 668 5200. Course offerings may also be found online along with the Continuing Education and Training’s newest educational partner, ed2go, which offers state-of-the-art virtual classroom learning.

Potential students can select from the newly expanded credit and non-credit courses. Partnerships with other organizations such as Red Cross, Fireweed Market Homestead Series, and Sharepoint Training offered by Learning Tree International offer a suite of courses. SCET is excited to announce its newest partnership with the Justice Institute of British Columbia Centre for Conflict Resolution (JIBC) which offers internationally-acclaimed credit courses now in the Yukon.

Course registration is conveniently available by phone with a credit card, online, or in person.

In addition, the adult learning extends to business and industry contract training. Organizations can now access Continuing Education for custom course-packaging which suits their business needs. Continuing Education and Training specializes in developing efficiently coordinated course or program delivery tailored to the organizations’ requirements.

“This is an extremely exciting time to be involved with continuing education in the Yukon,” states Dan Anton, chair of Continuing Education and Training. “Not only have we drawn upon dynamic facilitators, content experts and leading practitioners from our Yukon community, we are now strategically aligned with national and international leaders specializing in continuing education. This combination gives us the unique ability to bring continued learning opportunities right to Yukoners doorsteps.”

Continuing Education course registration is now open. Further information is available at:
