UCN is looking for assistance in researching different program models, obtaining information from sponsors, and developing recommendations to create a transition program, per the RFP, which was posted to electronic tendering service MERX.
“What we call this I don’t know yet — whether it’s called the transition year or post-secondary preparation or University 1, there are so many different (options) and maybe they can all be looked at,” said Lynette Plett, associate vice-president of access at the school, which has two main campuses in Thompson and The Pas.
“But, we are definitely looking for increased student success and to support more enrolment at UCN and other post-secondary institutions and to support students to be successful in employment pursuits.”
