    Description


    The College Bridging program is designed to provide a basis for subsequent college programs of study so you can pursue rewarding work and gain personal growth. Specifically, the program is a preparatory certificate that can serve as a refresher if you have been out of school for some time, or it can be a way to improve your competencies and proficiency in reading comprehension, writing, math,  research, scientific experimentation, study skills, time management, and critical thinking. Necessary components for your student success are incorporated within the program and include cultural supports, relevant materials, and community participation. 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 shared focus – academic and personal skills development – forms a solid foundation year and a pathway to enrolling in other college programs. In fact, on completion of the College Bridging certificate, you may receive credit for several courses that are transferable to the Comprehensive Arts & Science (CAS) Transition program. These include:
    • Computer Applications I
    • Career Exploration
    • Indigenous History of Newfoundland & Labrador
    • Indigenous Arts & Culture
    It’s a time full of awesome opportunities – it’s your time!
