ACC launches its first General Business Certificate Cohort

This past week a cohort of international students from India started their first day of classes in the college’s General Business International program.

Thirty students from India took the big step to further their education in Canada.

“We’re excited to have thirty bright, young students starting with us,” said Anna Simonyan, ACC’s International Coordinator. “This is the first time we are offering a General Business Certificate cohort for international students.”

Assiniboine Community College is part of the Student Partnership Program (SPP), a partnership between IRCC’s visa offices in India and Colleges and Institutions Canada that helps students in India streamline and speed up their study visa applications.

This one year long General Business international program is designed with the entrepreneurial spirit in mind. These students learn how to negotiate, invest, sell, market and manage people – in Canada’s economy. This program will prepare these international students to administer and manage all types and sizes of businesses.

ACC continues to grow its international student base. Last year, ACC welcomed over a 100 international students from various countries, including China, India, Ukraine and Brazil.
