LETHBRIDGE COLLEGE TRADES PUBLICATION 2019-21

READY TO GO ON DAY ONE For more than 60 years, Lethbridge College has been giving students the tools they need to connect to the work they’ll love. And our grads are a welcome addition to any workplace – because they’re ready. They’re equipped with experience and ready to go on day one. Our trades programs have helped build our community, province and country. Here’s a few things that set them apart from the rest.

WE OFFER NEARLY $75,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS AND AWARDS FOR STUDENTS IN THE SKILLED TRADES. We’re proud to help make education a reality for anyone with the desire to learn, regardless of their financial circumstances. And we are working to find new donors to create new opportunities for our students each year.

WE HAVE MORE THAN 1,000 APPRENTICES REGISTERED FOR THE 2019-20 ACADEMIC YEAR In fact, there are 1,081 apprentices and an additional 127 students enrolled in college trades programs in Fall 2019.
