CICE 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OPEN HOUSE
The Community Integration through Cooperative Education (CICE) program at St. Clair College is celebrating a decade of excellence! Join us for an exciting Open House event on June 14th, 2024, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the Student Life Centre (SLC).
The Community Integration through Cooperative Education (CICE) program at St. Clair College is a unique educational pathway tailored for individuals with developmental disabilities and other significant learning challenges. The program aims to provide these individuals with the opportunity to experience college life, pursue postsecondary education, and develop skills that will help them prepare for employment.
“No St. Clair program so emphatically demonstrates the college's philosophy and practice of accessibility to education for all who seek it as does Community Integration Through Cooperative Education," said President Michael Silvaggi. "For a decade, the college and our many private-sector partners who welcome the program's students for their work-placements have provided education and training that has not only fully involved those with learning differences in the life of our community but given them enhanced independence. In exchange, we – all St. Clair's students and staff – have been inspired by witnessing the barrier-breaking determination of CICE students and alumni."
