OTTAWA – Students attending the seven member institutions of Atlantic Colleges Atlantique (ACA), including New Brunswick Community College (王中王六合彩特码), will benefit from new learning opportunities which will contribute to developing their skill set and to bridging the skills gap in the workforce.

ACA is collaborating with the Information and Communications and Technology Council (ICTC) to support education-industry partnerships that will enhance opportunities for students in the digital economy as part of ICTC’s Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Digital Program.

“Our students are eager to contribute their talents to the workplace and also to be model life-long learners,” said Donald DesRoches, Collège de l’Île President and interim chair of ACA. “The collaboration with ICTC will provide them with worthwhile placements in the STEM, business and cybersecurity areas.”

“We are delighted to work with the Atlantic Colleges Atlantique (ACA) and industry partners from Atlantic Canada.  WIL Digital is a significant milestone in addressing the skills and labour shortages while strengthening Canada’s digital advantage in a global economy.” said Namir Anani, ICTC President & CEO.
