YESTERDAY, TODAY & TOMORROW Assiniboine Community College (ACC) first opened its doors in February 1961 as the Brandon Vocational Training Centre.

Shops and classrooms were located in several buildings throughout the city.

The centre was soon renamed the Manitoba Vocational Training Centre and in 1966 students moved into a new building at 1430 Victoria Avenue East. In December 1969, the centre became Assiniboine Community College when Manitoba’s three technical vocational schools were made community colleges.

When the vocational centre opened in 1961, it had a staff of four and offered two courses to 24 students. By 1966, it had grown to a staff of 24 and offered 11 programs to 300 students. Today, the college offers more than 40 unique programs with various credentials, and apprenticeship programs to a full-time enrolment of over 3,200. The college has over 500 full- and part-time employees and an annual operating budget of around $42 million. ACC has three campuses in Brandon as well as campuses in Dauphin and Winnipeg.

The college is in the middle of an exciting relocation and expansion to a beautiful site on Brandon’s north hill. The first piece of this relocation was completed in 2007, opening the doors of the Manitoba Institute of Culinary Arts (MICA).

This Manitoba heritage building is a mix of old and new.

In September 2010, the Len Evans Centre for Trades and Technology was opened at our North Hill Campus. This 130,000 square foot facility features innovative machine shops and equipment as well as modern classrooms in a historically rich setting. The college’s Sustainable Greenhouse opened in early 2013 and is a central location for training and applied research and home to our Horticultural Production and Sustainable Food Systems programs.

I.n 2015-16 we continued to remain on track with our commitment to double our graduates by 2025. In June of this year, ACC had the single largest graduation in the college’s history. A total of *948 students graduated from 45 different certificate and diploma programs in addition to 159 individuals achieving Red Seal certification from seven trades apprenticeship programs. * Data as of June 2016 ceremony

ACC’S ANNUAL PROVINCIAL IMPACT TOTALS $613 MILLION A recent study on ACC’s economic impact shows a contribution of more than $613 million every year to Manitoba’s economy.y.

“We know that investments in education produce economic and social returns far greater than their costs,” said ACC president Mark Frison. “Continued investment in ACC and post-secondary education is tied directly to the growth and prosperity of our provincial economy.

A more skilled workforce makes Manitoba stronger and more competitive.”

Economic Modeling Specialists International (EMSI) conducted the analysis. They are a leading provider of economic impact studies and labour market data to educational institutions in North America.

Other notable results from the study are as follows:

A survey completed by Probe Research Inc. earlier this year shows that a large majority of recent ACC graduates secure employment shortly after receiving their diplomas and certificates.

The average internal rate of return for students is 21.2 per cent on their investment in education at ACC. This rate of return continues over their working lives.

At 96 per cent, the overwhelming majority of recent graduates who were seeking work and were not returning to school secured employment. Nearly 80 per cent of these jobs are permanent.

For every dollar of public money invested in ACC, there is a cumulative return of $1.90 to the government over the students’ working lives in the form of higher tax receipts and public sector savings.

The average annual gross salary of recent graduates is $44,050.

And it’s good news for Manitoba as 94 per cent of recent ACC graduates have chosen to stay in the province.

Taxpayers see an internal a rate of return of 10.1 per cent on their investment in the college.

“The SPP is a partnership between Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s visa offices in India and Colleges and Institutions Canada that helps students in India streamline and speed up their study visa applications,” said Diane Shamray, VicePresident of Enterprise Development at ACC. “Receiving the SPP designation shows that we meet the high standards of the Student Partners Program.”

SKY’S THE LIMIT AS ACC STUDENTS SOAR WITH NEW TECH It’s not a bird, and it’s not a plane, but it is able to leap tall buildings … under the careful control of an operator on the ground. New technology is lifting off at Assiniboine Community College, with instructors excited about the opportunities that remoteoperated aircraft can bring to their students.

Known popularly as drones, but more accurately as unmanned aerial vehicles or UAVs, the flying machines are starting to shake up industries from real estate to tourism to agriculture, and ACC students are going to be among the first in the country trained on them.

“If our students get this kind of hands-on experience during their studies, it gives them a real nice tool in their tool belt.” says Steven Hills, a GIS instructor at ACC.

ACC STUDENTS WIN BIG AT ANNUAL SKILLS COMPETITION Thirteen Assiniboine Community College (ACC) students won medals at the 19th Annual Skills Manitoba Competition.

Thirty ACC students from a variety of skilled trades and technology programs competed, bringing home four gold, six silver and three bronze medals.

Skills Manitoba is an annual event that brings together more than 500 secondary and post-secondary and apprenticeship students from across the province to showcase their talent in over 40 different time-limited, hands-on contests.
