How It Works

Most jobs in the oil and gas industries are seasonal and run from January to April. In the Inuvik region, companies in these industries employed a number of learners. In the past, the learners have left ALBE programs or wanted to return to them in the middle of courses. To enable them to complete their courses, Aurora Campus changed its semesters to accommodate them. The semesters now run from September to December; from January to April; and from May to June.
