The provincial government will provide the College of New Caledonia with nearly $2.7 million in one-time funding to establish a Medical Radiography Technology (MRT) program.
The Ministry of Advanced Education and Labour Market Development and the Ministry of Health Services have finalized an agreement with CNC for the funding of the two-year program, which will start in September 2011. The agreement will see the province provide ongoing annual operating funding totaling $591,000 when it is fully enrolled with students.
The one-time funding will go towards facility renovations, new equipment and start-up costs associated with the 16-seat diploma program, which will be delivered at CNC's Prince George campus.
