About Us

Founded October 23, 1995 as a non profit society, the Princeton Skills Centre came into the community with a purpose:

 

To promote the development of workplace skills through training
To broker training programs already available in the community
To implement fee-for-service programs and services that are responsive to the training need of the community

The Skills Centre is not funded by any government body either Provincial or Federal.  Our purpose to provide access to training in the community of Princeton is accomplished through fees for service.

We are committed to keeping access to education and skills programs cost effective.
