With the pandemic forcing many people indoors, a lot of individuals began taking up different hobbies to occupy their time. Some have even registered in courses to either improve their skills or apply to post-secondary education.
Carrie Jolicoeur, a single mom, came to Valley Adult Learning Association (VALA) looking to enrol in the PSW course at Confederation College. Jolicoeur was not entirely sure of her decision, but knew she wanted to go to post-secondary school to gain a diploma in a helping profession, and that is where VALA came in.
There were barriers to Jolicoeur’s application that VALA helped her improve, in the hopes she would be able to pass the Mature Student Test. After contacting Confederation College, VALA discovered a much more suitable program for Jolicoeur, called the CICE program (Community Integration through Cooperative Education).

Donor Story: The Clements
