St. Lawrence College is receiving some provincial support to help provide students with better access to online learning opportunities.
Ontario has announced it’s supporting multiple innovative virtual learning projects at the college as part of the province’s Virtual Learning Strategy which was announced in December.
MPP for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes Steve Clark says the province’s economic recovery from the pandemic will be driven by innovation and by equipping the future workforce with the tools they need to succeed.
KITCHENER Ontario is investing nearly $3 million in virtual learning projects at Waterloo s three post-secondary institutions. The funding will support 36 projects at Conestoga College, University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University. “Increasing virtual course offerings will provide an opportunity for the next generation of workers, innovators, researchers, and leaders to get the skills and training they need to succeed in their fields, when and where they need it, Kitchener-Conestoga MPP Mike Harris said in a news release. Virtual learning opportunities offered by Waterloo Region s postsecondary institutions will provide students with more flexibility and access to top-notch programs. This investment will benefit students for years to come as they develop the career skills they desire while learning from home,” said Amy Fee, MPP for Kitchener South-Hespeler, in the release.
