Students choose our college because we design our programs to get you ready for your career, with the skills and confidence to hit the ground running when you graduate. We offer more than 75 certificate, diploma and post-graduate programs across a variety of disciplines. New programs are introduced every year, with modern learning facilities and equipment to train you on what’s current and emerging in the industry you’ll enter after your studies. Last year, we welcomed more than 5,600 full-time and 5,600 part-time students. With campuses in Brandon, Dauphin, Winnipeg and Portage la Prairie, as well as community training sites and online learning options, we provide comprehensive educational opportunities across Manitoba.
Assiniboine College is privileged to provide learning opportunities on the lands of the Dakota Oyate, Nakoda Oyate, Ininiwak, Nehethowak, Nehiyawak, Anishininewuk, Denesuline, Anishinaabeg, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

“I feel like a completely different person from the one who first started this program, and I owe that growth to my instructors for giving me an environment to learn and thrive in, my classmates for being a built-in support for when the course load got heavy, and my friends outside of school that were always impressed by the work I made and my family for cheering me on.” Keira Stephens Media and Communications, 2026

Rural Rotating Sites
Community-based education is part of Assiniboine’s DNA, and it’s one of the ways we help communities and regions address their specific labour market needs. In fact, we’re a leader in this area. Community-based delivery is when we offer one of our programs in a location where we don’t have a permanent campus, allowing students to live and study where they otherwise may not have the opportunity. Programs are often in the areas of skilled trades, health care, human services, business, and agriculture. Often there is an adult upgrading component, allowing Assiniboine students to complete both their high school education and become a college graduate! This past academic year, we delivered programs in 49 communities across Manitoba. We see tremendous success in this approach, particularly as it relates to self-determination and prosperity for First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities.

ADVANCED DIPLOMA PROGRAMS
35
Apprenticeship Train for your career as a certified journeyperson. Manitoba has more than 50 designated apprenticeship trades, and Assiniboine is proud to partner with Apprenticeship Manitoba to offer many of them. You’ll learn through a combination of on-the-job practical training and in-school technical training. There are two ways to enter any trade:
Assiniboine offers the following apprenticeship programs:
1. Complete a pre-employment program (find a full list of programs at Assiniboine on page 32) and then continue on to apprenticeship.
⊲
Agricultural Equipment Technician
⊲
Automotive Service Technician
⊲
Carpenter
⊲
Construction Electrician
2. Enter directly into apprenticeship. Pre-employment programs provide you with a well-rounded foundational education in your trade so that you are well-prepared to start your career and register as an apprentice. All pre-employment programs at Assiniboine are also accredited with Manitoba Apprenticeship trades. Whichever way you choose, both ways lead to obtaining your designation as a certified journeyperson. Training for a certified journeyperson varies from one to five levels, depending on the trade. For each level, you spend about 80% of your time learning from your employer; the other 20% is short-term technical training at college. Choosing a trade program will take you on a career path that promises to be both rewarding and challenging. So, roll up your sleeves, and let’s get to work. For more information, visit Apprenticeship Manitoba at manitoba.ca/tradecareers or assiniboine.net/apprenticeship.
