Regional Colleges
Accessibility was one of the founding principles of
the community college system and Saskatchewan's
Regional Colleges were designed to be accessible – by
providing training close to home. They offer post-secondary
learning opportunities to more than 20,000
learners each year.
All colleges offer skills training, credit, diploma,
university, apprenticeship and adult basic education
courses and programs to a wide variety of learners. This
range of programming is provided via a unique brokerage
model, which enables regional colleges to deliver a
wide variety of programs.
