Assiniboine Community College first opened its doors in February 1961 as the Brandon Vocational Training Centre. Shops and classrooms were located in several buildings throughout the city. The center was soon renamed to Manitoba Vocational Training Centre and in 1966 students moved into a new building at 1430 Victoria Avenue East.
In December 1969 the center became Assiniboine Community College (ACC) when Manitoba’s three technical vocational schools were made community colleges.
When the vocational center opened in 1961, it had a staff of four and offered two courses to 24 students. By 1966 it had grown to a staff of 24 and offered 11 programs to 300 students.
Today, the college offers more than 40 certificate, diploma, advanced diploma, and apprenticeship programs to over 2,800 full-time students. Numerous off-campus, part-time and evening programs contribute to an annual enrolment of over 11,000.
The college offers practical nursing training at campuses in Brandon and Winnipeg, as well as rural rotating sites throughout the province.
The college’s Adult Collegiate in Brandon delivers a Mature Student High School program and English language courses. ACC’s Parkland Campus in Dauphin offers several full-time day programs, Mature Student High School and continuing studies courses. The Russell Training Centre and other sites throughout southwestern Manitoba offer a wide range of continuing studies and contract training courses.
