It’s a familiar story: student becomes graduate, graduate becomes industry professional, industry professional comes back to teach. At least, it’s a familiar story at RRC Polytech – in fact, more than 900 current staff are RRC Polytech graduates.

And there’s no mystery why alumni make the career transition from industry to classroom: as students, they loved learning from instructors with real-world experience; after working in industry and gaining expertise, they want to pay it forward by teaching the next generation of graduates. Talk about coming full circle!

From Industry to Classroom: Become a Skilled Trades Instructor

Grads of RRC Polytech’s Skilled Trades programs – particularly Welding and Construction Trades – are warmly encouraged to attend RRC Polytech’s Industry to Classroom event on October 29 to discover the rewards and impact of teaching the next generation at RRC Polytech.

Visit our Notre Dame and South Winnipeg Campuses to learn more about the power of combining your professional career with teaching. Discover the flexibility and competitive compensation offered at the Polytech, as well as the opportunity to shape the future workforce.

The event features a panel discussion where you’ll hear directly from alumni, staff, and students, tour of lab spaces, and the opportunity to connect directly with the Dean, Associate Deans, Chairs, and Instructors who have made the transition from industry to classroom. Light refreshments will be served.

RRC Polytech grads have invaluable expertise and experience that can help shape the future of trades in Manitoba. If you have considered teaching as part of your career journey (or are simply curious about how that might look), please join us!
