n3xus Program
The N3xUs (aka Nexus) program which is intended to help youth transition successfully from high school to post-secondary school. This ten week program focuses on helping students prepare for life in a college or university. Making connections and building a firm safety net for yourself is what N3xUs is all about!
Graduates of this program are more prepared to join a post-secondary institution with the tools, resources, and people who can help them achieve their dreams.
N3xUs is unique of its focus on post-secondary education and what it is like to be a student. It is particularly geared for students who are moving from rural or remote areas to larger towns and cities who may feel lost, unsupported, or extremely nervous about the change. This program includes the following:
- a laptop kitted out with Microsoft Office.
- Accommodation supports as needed
- Successful completion gets students one semester of tuition and books paid for in a college or university where they have been accepted.

This program does not require approval by the Private Training Institutions Branch (PTIB) of the Ministry of Post Secondary Education and Future Skills. As such PTIB did not review this program.
