Private colleges expecting boost following provincial budget

NEWS RELEASE — MCG Career College and other private vocational colleges are preparing to receive more inquiries from prospective students following the Alberta Provincial Budget that slashed operating grants and lifted the tuition freeze for government-funding post-secondary institutions.

While many students remain on wait lists for post-secondary programs in the allied health field, MCG Career College is ready to accept applications for positions in the allied health field that funnel directly into in-demand positions in industry.

“Our programs are approved by the government, but we are funded by private dollars, which allows us to manage our costs and programming internally,??? explains Carmen Sheridan, Dean of MCG Career College.
