Confederation College is eliminating three programs
The Power Engineering Technician, Civil Engineering Technology and Child and Youth Care programs are all being suspended at the end of this school year.
Declining and consistently low enrolment over the years as well as low retention rates are cited for the demise of two programs.
Insufficient work placement opportunities for students and a significant change in regional employment opportunities are to blame for the Power Engineering course.
President Jim Madder says student currently enrolled in the first or second year of these programs will be allowed to complete their studies.
Madder says no layoffs are anticipated.
