Lifelong Learning Centre Delivers Opportunities!
Dan Owl, Manager of Infrastructure for Sagamok Education, voiced the need for training and certification in ‘Working at Heights’ for some of his staff in order to be safety compliant. A few requests brought forward by community members and departments initiated the idea of bringing this training on-site. A minimum/maximum of 12 registrants was required to do so, and according to Claudette Jones, Manager of Lifelong Learning Centre Programs and Services, it was immediately filled!
Future courses are in store for this highly sought after training and ticket so stay tuned for dates advertised on the digital sign, FaceBook, and website, or contact Lifelong Learning Centre directly to ask Kristy Bennett, Intake Coordinator, directly. The development of an on-line registration option for courses is currently underway, and will be located on the Education Website under the Registration tab of the Lifelong Learning Centre page.
Courses and Certifications will continue to grow and Lifelong Learning Centre (LLC) will become an accessible hub of training, specialized and continuing education, certified or for personal fulfillment. Over the past few months LLC has brought Excel, MS Office Suites, Professional Office Administration all supported through collaboration with Cambrian College, Fire1 offered fire training, First Aid/CPR certification is on the horizon for employees looking to fulfill health and safety standards, and a host of interest courses including quilling, beading, regalia crafting, Anishinaabemowin, and more have also been happening at this location. Surface Common Core Smelting, Underground Common Core, Confined Spaces, and numerous desirable programs are being offered in the newly appointed classroom spaces in partnership with Legend Mining and Z’Gamok. Judy Christie from Legend Mining has been coordinating the delivery of these opportunities with Claudette as you may have noticed the frequency and availability of mining training courses increase over the months of July and August. These programs offer necessary training to increase employment and career options to our community. If you have suggestions of programs or training you would like to see offered in Sagamok, or would like to give constructive feedback for a course you have recently completed, please contact the Lifelong Learning Centre or drop in to see us.
