RRC Polytech is excited to announce a game-changing partnership with the Winnipeg School Division (WSD). This collaboration aims to empower WSD employees and area residents by offering RRC Polytech programs free of charge.

What makes this partnership such a game-changer?

1) Investment in people: RRC Polytech and WSD recognize the importance of growing the workforce and strengthening the community. Together, we are embarking on a transformative journey—one that empowers graduates with the skills and knowledge to succeed in critical roles as administrative assistants, library technicians and power engineers.

2) Flexible education: Participants looking to gain new skills without disrupting their daily routines can take advantage of RRC Polytech’s flexible scheduling, which offers classes during and outside of regular work hours.

3) Pathways to credentials: These programs don’t just provide in-house training — they’re a journey toward earning an official RRC Polytech credential. Along the way, participants will have access to instructors with real-world expertise, an industry-aligned curriculum and a supportive learning environment.

4) Cost-free: Thanks to WSD’s generous funding, these programs are accessible to qualified participants at no cost. RRC Polytech and WSD believe that education should be within reach for everyone, and this partnership exemplifies the mutual commitment to making quality education affordable and attainable.

5) Inclusivity and community connections: Beyond workforce development, this partnership allows RRC Polytech and WSD to build meaningful relationships with those working and living in the division — including engaging with First Nations, Métis and Inuit students — making post-secondary training more accessible and inclusive. Together, we are shaping a stronger, more vibrant community, one learner at a time.
