Algonquin College hosted current and former military members in Pembroke, Ont. on Saturday, for the school's first military open house.
A memorandum of collaboration was signed between the college and CFB Petawawa. The partnership commits both sides to assisting active members looking to leave the military to enrol in programs at Algonquin.
Another key aspect of the partnership is the upgrading of skills and education for veterans and members transitioned out of active duty. Daniel Larente served 17-and-a-half years in the Canadian Armed Forces as a military police officer. He left the service in October 2021 and has been enrolled in the outdoor adventure program at Algonquin since.
Holly Antle attended Saturday's open house. She has served as a medical technician for 22 years with the Canadian military and is being forced to transition out due to medical reasons.With interest in outdoor adventure and trades programs, Antle admits she is nervous to step out of the only life she has known.
