PRINCE GEORGE – Students at the College of New Caledonia were soaking up the sun today, enjoying good food, entertainment and games. But many of the students don’t likely realize the College is celebrating a milestone: It is their 50th anniversary.Back in September 1969, the college has 253 registered students. As of August 29, 2019, that number has grown to 3,076 registered students.

Fifty years ago, some of the courses included First Year University and Science courses, data processing and early childhood education. Today, the college offers more than 90 different credentialed programs.

For students now entering Seventh Grade, sixty-five percent of them are going to be working in jobs that do not currently exist

But, like every post-secondary educators, times are changing rapidly.
