Description:

This program serves recent immigrants to Alberta by helping them learn the English language skills needed to live, find employment, and study in Canada. Classes are offered at a variety of Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) levels. Students of different English proficiency levels can progress at their own rate, with literacy support and tutoring available outside the classroom.

Upon completion of the program, students may continue their education in the English as a Second Language program at Columbia College, or they may pursue their post-secondary education elsewhere, while some may choose to go directly to employment.
