Starting this week on a screen near you: The Association of Saskatchewan Regional Colleges (ASRC) has announced the premiere of College TV - a television series premiering on City TV Saskatchewan on March 13 (also available for viewing online on the City TV Saskatchewan website). College TV provides an illustrative, real-world example of the diversity of careers available with training from one of Saskatchewan's regional colleges - including the Parkland College in Yorkton.
"This series showcases how training at regional colleges is really responsive to industry need as well as a great opportunity to get on a range of exciting career paths," says ASRC Executive Director Beverly Crossman.
College TV hosts Kashlee and Kristin will road trip around Saskatchewan, taking students on a tour of all seven of Saskatchewan's regional colleges and their surrounding areas. Each episode represents the wide range of programs offered, from nursing to oil field specialists to university courses.
"College TV also gives students the chance to see just what courses are available across the province, see what's unique about each individual college, and tap into what it's like to be a student there," adds George Tsougrianis, Executive Producer and CEO of Overtime Communication, the Saskatchewan-based production company that created College TV.
"We took the road trip to tour all of the colleges so that students wouldn't have to... Our colleges really take students from learning to earning over the course of their time here."
For employers, Saskatchewan Regional Colleges will develop programs to meet an organization's needs and to increase productivity and maintain a competitive edge.
