We’re your first stop when it comes to planning and finding the right program for your goals.
Our mission – People in Hamilton will have a better quality of life through lifelong learning.
As a learning network, we don’t deliver any programs. Instead, we help you navigate the various options out there.
Do you need to upgrade your skills to get a job? Or, do you have educational goals and you don’t know where to start?
We can discuss your options and help you develop a plan that is right for you! There are free adult upgrading programs across the city.
