Polytechnic Proud Campaign
Real people, real success. We’re thrilled to showcase the incredible stories of RRC Polytech alumni who are excelling in their workplaces and beyond, and celebrate our partnerships with leading Manitoba employers.
Starting in April 2024, you will see billboards and other ads featuring 40 RRC Polytech graduates who are Polytechnic Proud. You will also have the chance to read feature stories on their incredible successes.
The Polytechnic Proud campaign represents diversity across programs, industries, and generations. The recent and seasoned grads highlighted are CEOs, directors, entrepreneurs, engineers, account managers, nurses, horticulturists, teachers, chefs, and more – representing numerous sectors and industries across the province.
During our public nomination period last fall, we received an overwhelming response from our industry partners who shared incredible testimonies about the grads working for and with them. Those selected to participate in this campaign are a small but phenomenal representation of our vast and varied alumni community. There are many ways we highlight the 80,000+ graduates of RRC Polytech, and this opportunity is just one example of that.
Billboards
Kickstarting the campaign, dozens of billboards will be visible in Winnipeg, Portage la Prairie, and Selkirk for several months, along with print and online versions across Manitoba. See the billboard locations on our interactive map:
RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of Anishinaabe, Ininiwak, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dené, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.
