The College Readiness program offers courses designed to help adults obtain prerequisite skills for entry to NVIT career/technical and/or academic programs. College Readiness is designed for the adult learner who did not complete high school or who needs to review high school level academic skills before advancing to post-secondary level study. Courses in the program help learners develop skills in reading, writing, study skills, mathematics and science at fundamental provincial levels (literacy/numeracy through grade 12).
With a focus on helping learners apply effective learning and study skills to the development of academic competencies various instructional approaches and methods are used. Learners receive regular feedback about their progress and are given helpful guidance along the way. Instructors and instructional support professionals are available to provide on-going individual help and support. A primary goal is to help learners to develop and achieve their own learning potential, to take control of their learning and to know how to access support.
