lives and communities in that it provides our learners and staff with knowledge and perspectives to help them excel as community leaders and global citizens.”

in engineering, strategic planning and business development.

in this project. Thanks to the ongoing support of CICan, we are doing our part as post-secondary education training providers to help developing countries help themselves, and foster our social responsibility on an international stage.”
