ASPIRE AC aims to help all learners reach their potential for post-secondary success. ASPIRE AC works in three key areas for students pursuing college education: Access, Transition, and Retention.

Through programming, services, and community partnerships, we support students at each step of their college journey – helping them access and transition to college, get connected to the Algonquin community, and find meaningful employment when they graduate.
