2019-20 SOUTHEAST COLLEGE BUSINESS PLAN Southeast College INTRODUCTION The Multi-year Business Plan covers the three-year period from July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2022. The plan provides an overview of the College’s major strategic goals against the backdrop of the vision and goals of the Government of Saskatchewan, the Ministry of Advanced Education, and the Ministry of Immigration and Career Training. This year’s plan is a continuation of the College’s previous plan as there are a number of initiatives that were in the developmental stages and will move into implementation in the upcoming year. This plan does take into consideration the downturn in the national and provincial economy, specifically as it relates to labour market demand. This Business Plan lays out our vision for the next three years and beyond. We will continue to strive to meet the education and training needs of the people of Southeastern Saskatchewan, within the fiscal environment. Southeast College recognizes the importance of partnerships in the development, selection and delivery of programming, and we will continue to expand such partnerships in order to enhance the education and training opportunities throughout the region. We are also well aware of the barriers that limit the potential of our students, specifically the demand for Adult Basic Education in the region, and the importance this programming has in providing a pathway to higher education and the labour market. This is why the College will continue enhancing its ABE intake processes and program support in order to increase the success rates of this learner cohort. This is an exciting time at Southeast College with numerous new initiatives, program diversification, and new partnerships. The College will continue to strive to be Saskatchewan’s most innovative, industry-driven College by creating a work environment where our staff can innovate and succeed.
