Cambrian to offer five new programs to meet local community needs

Cambrian College has announced that it will be offering five new programs in the health sciences, occupational therapy, computer science, and business to meet community needs. The five programs, which will begin in the fall of 2020, include diploma programs in massage therapy, occupational therapist assistant and physiotherapist assistant, and computer programming; and graduate certificates in addictions/mental health and supply chain management. “They [the programs] allow people with prior post-secondary experience to come back to college,” said Cambrian VP of Academics Paula Gouveia. “We’ll combine the theory-focused education they received before with practical hands-on experience and a placement in industry they can use to transform into careers.” Sudbury Star (ON)
