Journeys Program
Indigenous-serving program
Journeys is an introduction to CEGEP designed for First Nations, Inuit and Métis students. This one-year transition program gives you the opportunity to do your prerequisites, obtain college credits, explore your options and settle in to the city to pursue your higher education. You will gain learning strategies that will set you up for success at CEGEP. Everyone knows your name in our tight-knit community and we work together to motivate and support each other in class and outside of class. Flexibility and a student-centred approach are core values of the program. In addition, students benefit from academic, cultural and spiritual support.
Interested students can be referred to post-secondary education office of their communities to inquire about funding.
