“These events will allow students to see firsthand what North West College has to offer, and what we are all about – education and training to prepare for bright future careers” said Dr. Priscilla Lothian, Vice President of Marketing & Student Experience at North West College. “The offer of waiving our application fees during the events is an effort to eliminate financial barriers for individuals eager to advance their career”.
Each of the departments at the college will have a booth set up during the Open House Events to speak with prospective students and provide them with detail about the program, as well as the future job forecast for graduates.

These events allow students to think about what programming choices might be a good fit for them, and map out the future that they want to progress toward.
North West College prides itself on providing quality education and training close to home, by collaborating with leading post-secondary institutions like the University of Saskatchewan, University of Regina, Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Assiniboine College, and Lakeland College. Students that complete programs brokered through these partner institutions receive the same diploma as their peers studying in larger cities, while being able to stay close to home and take advantage of the lower cost of living in their home communities.
“We intend to be open and available to the communities we serve, and one of the ways we can do that is by opening our doors to prospective students and community members who may have been curious about what programs we have to offer and what studying at the College actually looks like. These Open Houses aim to extend an invitation to explore what your future could be” said Dr. Eli Ahlquist, President and CEO of North West College. “We want to seize every opportunity to connect with the community, letting them know that North West College is open to them. From new program offerings and modern renovated training facilities to exciting upcoming developments, we’re here to ensure everyone is aware of the opportunities waiting for them.”
