Happy Valley-Goose Bay - On Campus - September 2026

This program is about clearing the way to new opportunities.

If you are looking to raise your grades or add academic courses to meet the entrance requirements for a college program, we can help. You can also improve your general employability skills and gain a valuable refresher if you’ve been away from training or the workforce for some time. We can help you transition to future opportunities waiting for you in post-secondary studies or the job market.

In addition to reading comprehension, writing, math and science, we are offering you interesting and valuable subjects such as study skills, time management and critical thinking. These may be strengthened with cultural supports and community participation – we want to help you succeed!

Along with career and computer courses, you will be offered personal development instruction in areas such as health and wellness, nutrition, stress management, healthy relationships, self-determination, and active lifestyle. This combination of academic and personal skills development forms a solid foundation year and a clear pathway for you to enroll in other college programs.

In fact, upon completion of this certificate, you may receive credit for several courses that are transferable to the College Transition program! These include:

Computer Applications I
Career Exploration
Indigenous History of Newfoundland & Labrador
Indigenous Arts & Culture

This program can set you on the road to your future success. And we can guide the way.
