On Friday
May 24th Great Plains College helped more than 30 students take the
next steps in their lives. The graduation was somewhat unique because a whole
class was absent from the celebrations. The good news for the absence was they
all had jobs; the bad news is they didn’t stay in and around Kindersley.
I think the
bravest graduates I saw at this grad were the students who went back to get
their grade 10 and grade 12. Congratulations!
Sharon Koop
graduated yet more students out of her fine Office Administration programs and most
of those students are employed.
The Town
has been working closely with the College to determine what our partnership may
look like to develop Phase 2. It has been a pleasure to work with David Keast, the
President, and his team. Nothing is certain but we have realized the project
would be better if we worked together to achieve our goals.
Kindersley
needs a strong college presence. Learning is not a one shot deal; it is an
experience that lasts a lifetime. For me, the more I learn the more I need to
learn: there are always learning curves in life and institutions like Great
Plains College help us master those curves. With greater program access in
Kindersley over a broad range of areas from Power Engineering to healthcare to
safety, Kindersley will have more opportunities for everyone to grow both
personally and professionally.
I am
looking forward to see Great Plains College grow.
