Are you ready to take a confident first step toward post-secondary success?

The Pathway to Business, Creative Communications and Digital Technology Programs at RRC Polytech helps Indigenous learners prepare academically, socially, and personally for rewarding careers in business, communications, hospitality, and digital media.

Throughout the program, you’ll strengthen your academic foundation, develop essential technical skills, and practice learning strategies that set you up for success. You’ll also benefit from a supportive community that infuses Indigenous culture into your learning journey and provides wrap-around supports to help you reach your goals.

After completing this pathway, you’ll have the opportunity to apply for reserved seats in the following RRC Polytech programs:
