The Community Integration through Co-operative Education (CICE) program is designed to strengthen essential skills for work, life and learning.

Program Highlights

The Community Integration through Cooperative Education (CICE) program is a two-year program designed to provide individuals with exceptionalities and other significant learning challenges opportunity to experience college life and enhance their academic and vocational skills with modified programming and support from Learning Facilitators. The program includes a number of core courses common to all CICE students in topics such as human relations and communications, job skills, life skills, computer skills, and health and wellness. Other courses will be drawn from a number of current diploma programs in the Community Development, Business, Culinary and Fitness and Recreation Program that reflect student interests and have been intentionally modified to suit the unique learning needs. These modified courses will allow the CICE students to develop applied learning and life skills

CICE students select a program stream based on their interests. Selections are dependent on available seats and are subject to change:

  • Business
  • Culinary
  • Early Childhood Education

  • Hospitality

Co-operative Education Experience
