½ûÂþÌìÌÃ

What do we mean when we talk about the ½ûÂþÌìÌà Advantage?

For our learners, it means delivering a top-tier education that delivers on skills, knowledge, and job readiness. But at ½ûÂþÌìÌà we go further.

What sets us apart is that we offer alternative forms of experiential learning, in addition to traditional work-integrated learning. And while our programs include Canada’s nine Skills for Success, we also specialize in the development of two additional core skills: entrepreneurial/growth mindset and global citizenship and environmental awareness. We have an entrepreneurship education program and an award-winning Robertson Institute for Community Leadership. Also, we’re a Canadian leader in engaging ½ûÂþÌìÌà learners in our applied research projects.

For our partners, it means developing and nurturing the workers of tomorrow who will drive our economy and our province forward.

We do this by:
