Looking for a short summer program where you can have fun, make new friends, and learn skills for work, independent living, and future education?
Find your future this summer!
What is a Completion certificate
Ministry-approved teaching and learning activities that provide practical training for rapid entry into frontline jobs but do not culminate in a parchment/credential.
What to expect from the program
The Education and Employment Pathways (EEP) program is a fun way to learn new skills, make friends, and plan for your future in just a few weeks. It runs July 21 to August 15, 2025, at NorQuest’s downtown campus, Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.
Each week, you’ll:
- Learn life skills like cooking, cleaning, and using money
- Practice talking to others and building good relationships
- Explore your community through walks, field trips, and volunteering
- Get ready for work or school with help writing a resume, using a computer, discovering your strengths, planning your future, and more!
You’ll also have plenty of time to enjoy your new friends, go on field trips, take part in group activities, visit NorQuest’s miyo-pimâtisiwin Centre, and reflect on what you’ve learned.
Come join us for four weeks full of fun, learning, and new experiences!
Be part of something new!
We’re excited to offer this brand-new program as a trial this summer. It will only be able to run if we have enough folks interested in joining. Reach out to us early to avoid disappointment!
