Kerri Korabelnikov, Dean, School of Education, Arts and Sciences at RRC Polytech, has been appointed to a new advisory council on immigration to recommend improvements to current immigration policies and programs for the province of Manitoba.

She is one of twenty Manitobans appointed to the Immigration Advisory Council (IAC), which will be co-chaired by Lloyd Axworthy and Advanced Education, Skills and Immigration Minister Jon Reyes.

“We are all coming to this council from different perspectives, but we all know how important encouraging economic growth is by investing in immigration,” said Korabelnikov. “Manitoba is an incredible destination for newcomers, especially for international students coming to RRC Polytech, and this work will ensure we are able to improve our foreign credential recognition to help these people enter the work force promptly.”
