Calgary College Campus News
Beginning in 1911,
Robertson
College has provided quality vocational training in Western Canada. Almost 100 years later,
Robertson
College has grown from a secretarial school in
Saskatchewan to one of Western Canada’s premier vocational training
institutes with campuses in Calgary,
Winnipeg
and Brandon.
Since opening the
Calgary
campus in 2004, the campus has grown from offering one program to now offering
seven. “Our winter enrollment has increased 27% over last year!” states
Keith Kristalovich,
the new Campus Director for the
Calgary Colleges
campus. “We have experienced most of our growth in the Pharmacy Technician
and Veterinary Office Assistant programs. Graduates of these programs are
highly sought after by
Calgary
employers.”
Robertson
College has recently
completed some renovations creating new classrooms and office space to make room
for these new programs and increased enrollment. “We are excited about the
renovations that just took place,” said Kristalovich. “The added space has
allowed us to continue offering small class sizes providing students more one on
one time with their instructor.” An additional Pharmacy Technician classroom
and lab, extra class space as well as a new admissions area were added to the
college. The public is welcome to come down to view the new facility.
The College
started three new programs in the fall of 2008 with each program designed to
have students career ready in under a year. The Administrative
Professional, Legal Administrative Assistant, and Travel Counselor programs are
the newest programs to be offered. Each program started in the late fall
or early winter with classes offered in the afternoon. With the first
classes underway, employers are already asking for these students to come and
interview with them, especially in the travel industry. “According to the
CITC (Canadian
Institute of
Travel Counsellors)
there is an industry shortage of certified Travel Counselors across the
country.” said Kristalovich. “Students who graduate from the Travel
Counselor program can enjoy a rewarding career with unlimited potential.”
