Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organised, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

OUR PROGRAM
"I had no direction. I trusted no one. I felt abandoned, helpless and frightened of life.
I had been unable to work for several years and was living as a recluse with no friends, family or social outlets. My doctor referred
me to a social worker who suggested I try RTE." [Read more ...] |
Redirection Through Education is a supported education program for adults 19 years and older who have a history of mental health issues and/or addictions. It provides students with the opportunity to assess their readiness for full-time school or work.
Students enrol in credit courses, such as Communications, Computer Skills, Speaking with Confidence, Contemporary Issues in Adult Development, Strategies for Student Success, and the Psychology of Human Relations. These can lead to eligibility and/or exemptions in post-secondary programs, depending on the grades achieved. Remedial skills in English, supervised study skills classes and other non-credit courses are included. Students can improve their relationship skills in the Interpersonal Skills class and through work with their individual counsellors.
Vocational testing is offered to help students determine their interests and aptitudes. Some courses focus on preparation for work. Students try out possible careers as well as their readiness to return to work by engaging in volunteer and work placements.
RTE helps individuals make effective and informed choices regarding further education, skills training, jobs and other vocational plans through goal setting and individualized counselling.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
The program is designed for adults with a mental health and/or addictions history. Applicants should call the Program Office at 416-415-5000, ext. 2315 to arrange to attend an information session. After, a referral form must be completed by the applicant or referring worker. Applicants will be contacted for an admission appointment.
FEES
There are no student fees. The program is funded by both the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care and the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities. Students must arrange their own transportation.
YOUR CAREER
Graduates from this program go on to a wide range of employment opportunities depending on their interests and previous experience. Some choose to make a career change, and many go on to other post-secondary programs before seeking employment.
