With the launch of its new strategic plan for 2022-2026, In Front of What’s Ahead, Red River College will embark on a bold new path forward by becoming Red River College Polytechnic (RRC Polytech).

The new name recognizes RRC Polytech’s evolution into a unique post-secondary institution that blends deep, knowledge-based learning with applied, hands-on experience, and highlights the important role our graduates play in growing Manitoba’s economy as our province recovers from the pandemic and looks to the future.

RRC Polytech’s new strategic plan and bold new vision were created in consultation with staff, trusted partners and community supporters over a nine-month period.

The process allowed RRC Polytech to shine a spotlight on its strengths, and recognize its blind spots to create three new commitments for the next five years:

• Transform our learning model to meet emerging needs.
• Commit to Truth and Reconciliation. Pursue Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in everything we do.
• Deepen partnerships to maximize prosperity across industry and community.

As Manitoba’s polytechnic, our top priority is preparing students to thrive in a rapidly changing world of work. Achieving this requires that we take a leap into the future, rather than incremental steps – a bold approach that shows our community and partners we’re not only ready to meet rapidly shifting demands, but to lead the way forward.
