As the College is, for all intents and purposes, the only substantial PSI in the NWT, the GNWT commissioned a Foundational Review of the College's governance and accountability structure, as well academic programming and supporting operations to ensure programs are managed effectively and efficiently, are meeting the diverse needs of students, and are responsive to changes in the labour market.
