Dean's Message

 

Welcome to the Faculty of Continuing Education and Training at Seneca. Your decision to enroll as a new or returning student in part-time studies is one that will provide you with lifelong benefits. Whether your goal is career advancement, career change, reskilling, upskilling, or improving some fundamental aspect of your life, partnering with you to cross the finish line of your education is of upmost importance to us.

Today's career paths are no longer linear. We know that "life happens" along the way. Your needs don't always align with typical higher education schedules. That's why we offer many flexible delivery options to help navigate your busy schedules and complicated demands of life, and prepare you for the unique challenges of our current and future world of work.

Our primary purpose is to help you become the fullest version of yourself and to provide flexible and engaging part-time lifelong learning opportunities to help you successfully complete your studies.

Our faculty are motivated by your growth and success, and the personal satisfaction and fulfillment they gain from being a part of your learning journey. They are arguably the best in continuing education instruction because they work daily in the real work and pass their wisdom and guidance along to you.

We all have hidden credentials and transferable skills – lessons that life has taught us, but we might not know how to articulate that knowledge to a potential employer. Your professors are determined, through their lessons, lectures, and collaborative work, to help you demonstrate the competencies you have learned with us, and to illustrate your full value to employers.

We're here to assist you with all aspects of your learning journey. We are eager to help, and we appreciate hearing your feedback to help our ongoing objectives of improving programs, facilities and services for you.

Thank you for the privilege of your time. We wish you success and happiness in your studies and your life.

Chris McCracken, Dean
