More local opportunities for adult and continuing education

The Renfrew County District School Board (RCDSB) is committed to providing accessible, flexible, and high-quality learning opportunities for adult learners who want to complete their high school diploma, upgrade their skills, or prepare for new career pathways. The RCDSB Adult & Continuing Education programs offer a range of learning options designed to meet diverse needs. Whether learners are balancing work and family commitments or seeking career advancement, these programs provide flexible pathways to success. Program Offerings Include:

  • High School Diploma Completion: Designed for adult learners looking to earn their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).
  • Co-operative Education: Earn credits while gaining valuable workplace experience or start an apprenticeship in the trades.
  • Skills Upgrading: Programs focused on literacy, numeracy, and digital skills to enhance career readiness.
  • Career Preparation: Specialized courses designed to equip learners with job-ready skills.
  • English as a Second Language (ESL): Language development programs for eligible newcomers, including permanent residents and naturalized citizens.

RCDSB’s Adult & Continuing Education programs are accessible to all, welcoming learners from all backgrounds and life experiences. Whether someone is returning to school after many years or simply looking to upgrade their skills, there are pathways available to help them succeed. “You may be closer than you think to reaching your educational goals,” says Scott Nichol, Superintendent at RCDSB. “Many adults don’t realize how much of their past education, work experience, or life skills can count toward earning their diploma or advancing their careers. We encourage anyone interested to explore their options and to share this information with family, friends, or colleagues who may benefit.”
