PROGRAMS:
- Adult General Interest and Self & Family Courses
- Adult Basic Literacy
- English Education - for non-English speakers, or those who want to improve their skills
- Family Literacy Programs
- Workplace-focused Programs

- Ed2go - a way to learn skills for home and work at your own speed, from your own home
PEOPLE:
We are your neighbors and friends. We meet you on the street, and hear you when you talk about what you need. We are trained professionals who give only our best. We are volunteers who give our time to help others learn the skills they need. We are board members who care enough to sit on the Council Board. We are part of your community. We are supported by a whole network of partners, funders, volunteers, and friends.
PLACES:
We work where you do. We have offices in both Castor and Coronation. We bring programming to your community: to Fleet, to Brownfield, to Halkirk, and to you where you work and live. We travel the County to meet you where you need us most. We are setting up a learning center in our office in Coronation, with internet-access computers to help learners connect to on-line learning opportunities.
POSSIBILITIES:
Our programs are fully supported by the Government of Alberta through Alberta Advanced Education and Technology, and through funding supports such as the Community Programs Branch, Castor and District F.C.S.S, and C.D.S.S, as well as local community and municipal support. Part of our mandate (and our best opportunity for success) is to create partnerships with existing service providers. We have a vision for PCALC! We intend...
- To increase the range and content of the programs we provide, to better meet your needs.
- To work with employers to help build the skills of workers and managers by partnering in Professional Development workshops and on-line for-credit learning opportunities, and to provide opportunities to connect with each other through Video-Conferencing.
- To build consistent programs that you can count on to give good value.
- To be known as the place to go for adult learning, training, and support within our community, through our programs, through our Learning Center, through our workshops, and through our people.
