RRC Polytech is a leader in applied learning and innovation. Our talented team of employees is passionate about education, innovation and student success. We offer competitive salaries, extensive benefits and the opportunity for personal and professional growth in a rewarding career.
At the heart of Turtle Island, in the place where the Red and Assiniboine rivers join, Red River College Polytechnic is taking a bold step forward in a spirit of partnership, respect and shared opportunity. This new five-year strategic plan maps out the path we must follow to meet a future of disruption head on, and lead the change we want to see in this province.
For more than 80 years, students have come to RRC Polytech to prepare for what lies ahead. By working on the cusp of what Manitoba needs next, our evolution from a community college to a college of applied learning has helped us grow into the polytechnic we are today.
In this age of ever-increasing disruption, however, we need to do more than keep up: we must get ahead of what’s coming next.
Manitoba businesses have identified an urgent, ongoing need to attract and retain qualified, job-ready employees. People with modern skills and certifications. People who have gained new skills in emerging technologies. People who can think creatively and critically. People who can contribute on day one and are poised for leadership opportunities in the future.
No post-secondary institution better prepares people to meet those needs for Manitoba than RRC Polytech.
Students have always been at the centre of our work — and the strongest measure of our success. As tomorrow’s innovators, professionals, leaders and change-makers, they come to us for high quality programs and work-integrated learning experiences that prepare them for a constantly changing world. When they graduate, they know they’re ready to hit the ground running — and so do their employers. In fact, we produce the highest proportion of job-ready graduates of Manitoba’s leading post-secondary institutions.
Our success has been built on strong, dynamic partnerships — with communities, industry, employers and applied research partners. Our partners want to work with us because of our ability to solve problems, train talent and respond nimbly and meaningfully to disruption and labour market needs.
At RRC Polytech, we thrive on the cutting edge. Through our exceptional employees, we embrace disruption, diversity, new technology, traditional knowledge and emerging fields to overcome the challenges facing our communities and our world. And we look to our past to understand the role we must play in building a better tomorrow.
Red River College Polytechnic is committed to ensuring that First Nations, Métis and Inuit knowledge, cultures and traditions are embraced and reflected in the pursuit of its mission.
An acknowledgement of these lands that we are on today, and of the RRC Polytech commitment to Indigenous peoples and communities, now form part of the foundational statements that define RRC Polytech.
RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of Anishinaabe, Ininiwak, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dené, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.
We respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
RRC Polytech is committed to a renewed relationship and dialogue with Indigenous people based on the principles of mutual trust, respect, and reciprocity.
At RRC Polytech we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment, where all employees and students feel valued, respected and supported. We aspire to have a workforce that is representative of the diversity within our communities, and welcome applications from women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, racialized persons, persons of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and others who may contribute to the further diversification of ideas. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
