Meeting provincial labour market demand and supporting regional development

After six years of steady increases, Selkirk College experienced an overall drop in enrolment in 2010-11.

Adult basic education and trades apprenticeships saw a decrease in demand and thus the number of seats funded. Enrolment in these and other programs tend to be cyclical and a reversal is anticipated in areas where decreases were seen.

Selkirk College opened its doors to over 11,500 learners over the last year—a significant percentage of the region’s population.

Selkirk College exceeded government’s expectations in health, developmental education and skilled trades programming. Significant increases were seen in such areas as Early Childhood Care and Education and Continuing Education.
