Northern connections adult learning centre sharbot lake

Local community learning centres in Sydenham, Hartington, Sharbot Lake and Northbrook are solving some of the problems people have when trying to improve their skills and education. One solution is a partnership with Ontario colleges for E-learning electronic, online or Web-based learning satellite services. E-labs provide a learning environment that is friendly, supportive and close to home. High-speed Internet is available and the computers have all the software and hardware needed to complete courses for the Academic and Career Entrance Program ACE and some college certificate and diploma courses.

Members and elders of the SOFN will now be offering workshops at the center on various subjects to all members of the community. Along with the regular classes Northern Connections currently offers in computer training, upgrading, literacy, credits and equivalents, basic employment and life skills, the new partnership with the LDSB will allow the center to offer all members of the community assistance in high school credit corre-. This partnership is something that we have been hoping for for a long time and we are very pleased that the center can now be a one stop shop for our people to come to learn and to share, which is really what the partnership is all. Our goal is to have an adult learning center that combines the knowledge of all members of the community. Along with the workshops offered by members of the Algonquin community we will also be bringing in special culturally appropriate learning materials for members of the Aboriginal community.
