President s
Message
Yukon College traces its history to the Yukon Vocational and
Technical Training Centre founded in 1963. College status was granted in the
spring of 1983 and since that time Yukon College has grown to include 13
campuses throughout the Yukon Territory.
Yukon College offers
certificates, diplomas and degrees through 5 academic areas, including: the
School of Access; School of Science, Trades and Technology; School of Health,
Education and Human Services; School of Liberal Arts; and the School of
Management, Tourism and Hospitality. The College also provides the first two
years of university transfer and is a respected member of the BC Council on
Admissions and Transfer.
This broad range of programming allows Yukoners
to stay in the north while pursuing post-secondary studies. It also accommodates
contract training demands by local industry and government in a range of
specialties. Programming is delivered from campus to campus, across the Yukon,
through video-conferencing and on-line learning technology. The President s
Committee on First Nation Initiatives with representatives from all fourteen
Yukon First Nations, influences programming and services delivered at the
college.
With respect to research and development, the College is
leading the way as home to the Yukon Cold Climate Innovation Centre and the
Northern Research Institute, conducting innovative research and development
specific to Canada s north.
Yukon College is an integral part of the
community, social, cultural and economic life of Yukon.
