Second Career Strategy
Representatives from community agencies gathered with Fleming College staff on June 17 to learn more about the new Second Career Strategy initiative. “It is important for us to bring all of you together and talk about how we as a college can work with you to help individuals realize their second careers,” said Vice President Academic Dr. Rachael Donovan. Fleming College staff members provided information on the process of applying to college, fees, learning supports, as well as which programs are eligible under the program at the breakfast event, held at the Sutherland Campus. Students participating in the Second Career Strategy at Fleming College will be fast-tracked through the application process, have access to integrated services, and will be provided with an advisor. Under the Second Career Strategy, which launched June 5, workers who have been laid off within the last year are eligible to receive up to $28,000 in funding to return to school for further training and education. With job shortages emerging in certain sectors of the labour market, there are growing demands for skilled workers in a variety of industries – construction, hospitality and health care. Fleming College offers a number of programs in these career fields that range from a few weeks to two years. These certificate and diploma programs are available at all of the college’s campuses in Lindsay, Peterborough, Haliburton and Cobourg.
