Welcome to the students and staff of Red Deer Polytechnic! Their Practical Nurse Diploma program kicked off last month here at the Heritage Building in Camrose. 16 students, including 14 from Camrose and area will be learning with the Bethany Group this semester!
The program expansion offers new opportunities for local students and is part of Campus Alberta Central, a collaboration between Olds College and Red Deer Polytechnic, designed to bring post-secondary education to communities throughout Central Alberta. Local learners will benefit from increased access to education while addressing workforce needs in healthcare.
The Bethany Group is excited to be able to support the development of rural education opportunities through hosting the in-person lab sessions via this collaboration.
