Assiniboine Community College and Long Plain First Nation are ringing in the New Year with the spirit of collaboration. The two are joining together to deliver an Applied Counselling certificate program in the community, which is located southwest of Portage la Prairie.

There are some amazing career opportunities in Southwestern Manitoba. And Matthew Russell found one of them. He parlayed his Business Administration diploma from Assiniboine into a job with Custom Software Solutions in his home town of Virden, where the company’s head office is located, and hasn’t look back.

Shaun Woodcock doesn’t like being in the spotlight. He likes to be behind a desk in an office with the door closed. And while he likes math and numbers, he also likes dealing with people one-one-one. So when he started doing some investigating, he found the Financial Services program at Assiniboine was tailor-made for him.
