TCC GO focuses on providing career exploration activities and guidance for high school students. The program pays tuition for dual-credit courses (courses that meet both high school and college requirements), provides access to Pathful Explore (an online career exploration site), reimburses internet expenses and more.

To better serve the TCC region, Cultural Programs is developing programming to:

  • Help connect the TCC community to heritage-strengthening activities such as Native Youth Olympics
  • Pass on traditional craft skills
  • Center cultural knowledge development through activities – potentially including theatrical performances/presentations
