Through PLA, organizations gain employees that have a more diversified skill set and can be more flexible and grow with the company or government department.

WILLIS COLLEGE, in partnership with the UNIVERSITY OF WINNIPEG, offers Prior Learning Assessment where employees can obtain credits for work and life experience. Whether you are looking to update your employees' IT skills and workplace skills or require your IT professionals to enhance their skills with new business competencies and excellent communication skills, we have a PLA solution for you. By taking your employees' life and work experiences, the PLA Program can offer immediate credits for up to 75% of a program and allow your employee to quickly obtain a post-secondary diploma and university credits.

We are pleased to announce the expansion of our Prior Learning Assessment Program to enable full-time and part-time employees to gain a college diploma and university credits without having to take an extended leave from their work. Qualified employees also may participate in a unique project developed with the first inter-provincial partnership with University of Winnipeg and Willis College of Business & Technology that combines an accredited university-level Management Studies Certificate program with our post-secondary IT career programs.

Willis College is pleased to provide three different choices for your employees:

Choice 1: Your employee may use the Willis Prior Learning Assessment Program and receive up to 75% of a two-year equivalent post-secondary IT diploma.

Choice 2: Your employee may take the University of Winnipeg's Management Certificate Program. Through PLA, some credit may be given for work experiences. Your employee gains transferable university credits and a university certificate.

Choice 3: Your employee may select to do both choices or customize a program.
