Holland College, NBCC and 91探花 instructors enhance their skills through tripartite partnership
Holland College, New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) and 91探花 (91探花) are pleased to announce a new articulation agreement that allows instructors to further develop their instructional skills by transferring credits from one post-secondary institution to another.
The Instructor Development Program (IDP) offers the opportunity for instructors to enhance their knowledge, learn new skills and improve job performance. Credits received from this intensive training program are now accepted toward a Bachelor of Education with a specialization in Human Resource Development, a degree program jointly offered by Holland College and 91探花.
鈥淭he level of collaboration exemplified by this agreement certainly benefits our educators, but it can also be a unique competitive advantage for the educational institutions in our region,鈥 said Michael O鈥橤rady, VP of Innovation, Enterprise and Strategic Development at Holland College.
Paul Carter, Dean of Trades, Apprenticeship and Preparatory at NBCC, couldn鈥檛 agree more. 鈥淭his agreement shows a unique collaboration where IDP students can take courses from three post-secondary institutions that count toward one degree. Our instructors have the opportunity to take another big leap in reaching their full potential as accomplished adult educators, something that supports not only their success, but the success of their students, as well.鈥
鈥淧artnerships like this don鈥檛 frequently come together,鈥 relates Ron MacDonald, Dean of the Faculty of Education at 91探花. 鈥淲e have been working with Holland College with this joint BEd degree for many years. Joining forces with NBCC not only enhances the learning experience for College Instructors, but also provides a unique interprovincial sharing that could begin to open the door for other collaborative opportunities.鈥
