MLA Tours Myrnam Career Training Education Centre Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Jackie Armstrong-Homeniuk recently toured the Career Training Education Centre, (CTEC) and was very impressed by what she heard and what she saw during her visit to this unique facility on August 5. Village of Myrnam CAO Gary Dupuis, along with Mayor Donna Rudolf, showcased the specially designed classrooms and workshop, which they say facilitates innovative learning opportunities. CTEC opened in the fall of 2019, and the Village of Myrnam works in tandem with St. Paul Education. Dupuis said it’s a home school centre which offers specialized instruction to approximately 70 Grade 7-12 students. There are many facets to the building which is owned by the Village of Myrnam. Dupuis said CTEC offers area students a special opportunity for creative learning in eco-sciences and green technology. New Myrnam School is directly adjacent to the CTEC building. Dupuis said, education institutions like New Myrnam School has a prime focus to instruct, implement, and expand green learning, and to serve as a catalyst for the building trades and advancing green technologies for junior and senior high students. Dupuis also pointed out that the Village
also recognizes the timely and critical role CTEC can play with displaced, unskilled, unemployed or underemployed youth and workers in their region. “As a Village, our focus is this second group of individuals and why we are applying for this independent grant separate from St. Paul Education,” said Dupuis. He went on to explain, “A large cohort of youth in our region are from recent immigrant families of German Mennonite descent. They have good general building skills and agribusiness desires, but often lack formal education. Many other workers have been impacted by the severe downturn in the regional oil industry. Both can benefit greatly from the practical hands-on programs being designed at CTEC improving employability and future education options as desired.”
