This is a preparatory course designed to assist students in a successful transition to upgrading and further post-secondary studies. Central to the course experience is the establishment of a learning community in which multiple ways of knowing and being are valued, while participants pursue individual goals. Participants will set career and educational goals, inventory and develop their skills and readiness for math and science courses, and create immediate and long-term learning plans.
