Shilo partnering with Assiniboine to expand education opportunities

Assiniboine College and the Shilo Military Family Resource Centre (MFRC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that formalizes a collaborative partnership to expand post-secondary education, skills training and employment-related learning opportunities for Canadian Armed Forces members, their families and the broader CFB Shilo community. “This partnership represents both an exciting opportunity and a clear need for accessible education and training close to where people live and work,” said Michael Cameron, Dean of Community Development at Assiniboine College. “This agreement allows us to work closely with the MFRC to support military families with flexible, relevant learning opportunities that align with career goals, community needs and life on the base.” As part of the agreement, the Shilo MFRC will provide Assiniboine College with space to serve for training purposes. While the Shilo MFRC facility will function as the primary location for programming, the MOU enables Assiniboine to deliver training at other suitable locations across the base, depending on program needs. This flexible approach allows for hands-on and specialized training in areas such as business, culinary arts and automotive technology, among others. “We’re thrilled to formalize this partnership with Assiniboine College,” said Rob Lavin, Executive Director at Shilo MFRC. “It is essential that military and veteran families that we serve have access to education and training opportunities that are convenient, supportive and responsive to their realities. This MOU helps us do exactly that.” The MOU outlines a shared commitment to increasing awareness of post-secondary and employment training options, supporting learner success and strengthening connections between Assiniboine College, the MFRC and key stakeholders at CFB Shilo. This agreement reflects a broader commitment by both parties to support economic development, lifelong learning, and the well-being of military families as CFB Shilo continues to grow.
