ONTARIO NATIVE EDUCATION COUNSELLING ASSOCIATION

Canadore College and the Ontario Native Education Counselling Association (ONECA) have mutually agreed upon a model to increase learning pathways for Aboriginal students.

This agreement provides NCTP graduates with the option of continuing into postsecondary studies at Canadore while recognizing their past academic accomplishments. This model reduces the amount of time and financial resources required to complete the diploma.
