STRATEGIC PLAN 2022-2026: IN FRONT OF WHAT’S AHEAD
This new mission, vision and direction for RRC Polytech was influenced by thousands of stakeholders and community partners who participated in the creation of the new five-year Strategic Plan : In Front of What’s Ahead. This plan provides a roadmap for how these commitments will position Manitoba’s polytechnic to respond to what our province needs next. RRC POLYTECH’S COMMITMENTS ARE: • Transform our learning models 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. Staying in front of what’s ahead requires RRC Polytech to align efforts across all priorities. These commitments ensure RRC Polytech can continue to meet the evolving needs of industry, employers and communities, by shaping the future of learning, building the collaborations that drive shared outcomes, and deconstructing colonial and biased assumptions that have broken trust in post-secondary education, employment and administration. In the second commitment of the plan, RRC Polytech renews its commitment to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action within our operations and in our work to advance Indigenous education. This commitment reflects on the harms of the past and supports the key role Indigenous peoples must play for
