Friday was a special day for everyone associated with Assiniboine Community College's Parkland Campus.
Director Carol Stewart says 54 graduates were recognized for completing nine certificate, diploma, and advanced diploma programs.
"We had students graduate from our Adult Learning Centre, the School of Health and Human Services, The School of Business, the Russ Edwards School of Agriculture and the Environment, and our School of Trades."
Stewart adds the next steps for these students is to find employment, hopefully within the field that they studied.
"We are pretty optimistic that this will be the case for most of our graduates, because we just recently got the results of our latest graduate follow-up survey. On average, over 90 per cent of Assiniboine grads are employed and have careers related to their studies."
Joana Lusung Ribagorda, a Social Service Worker graduate, was the Valedictorian for the Parkland Campus ceremony, which was held at Credit Union Place.
