I recently had the opportunity to visit the Lifeway Training Institute (A project of
CityCentre –Community Renewal Initiative) on 20th Street in
Saskatoon’s Riversdale neighbourhood. At
LifeWay I had the opportunity to meet
with Brad Mayer, the Community Outreach Director a pastor and graduate of the U
of S College of Commerce.
Brad toured myself and a few others through the Lifeway properties (a former bingo hall
and a nightclub) where he highlighted their educational and lifeskills
programming. The adult job seeker may be
interested to know that Lifeway using
a Christian perspective works to “assist people who have come from different
backgrounds and lead them towards a process of rebuilding for their
futures. Through a multi-faceted
approach to both classroom teaching and hands-on experience, students will grow
in their abilities needed to become productive members of society”.
The job seeker will be interested to know that Lifeway provides the following training
programs:
·
Morning Personal Development classes
·
Afternoon Academic Upgrading (pre-GED, GED &
High School Upgrading)
·
Afternoon Employment Training/Experience.
In addition, CityCentre –Community Renewal Initiative has a
licensed daycare at its Pathways Early Learning Centre and a 24 suite apartment.
