Higher Education - Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Our goal is to increase the post-secondary participation of adults and young people who might not otherwise experience post-secondary education. Through our programs, we are expanding educational opportunities and building educational capacity across communities in the Greater Toronto Area.We believe education can break cycles of intergenerational poverty and social exclusion. Post-secondary education transforms lives and contributes to social cohesion, social stability, and a civic society.By offering holistic and innovative transitional programming, we seek to create accessible pathways to post-secondary education for adults and young people, who may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience post-secondary education.We work with learners to build academic capacity through a strong community of students, staff, and alumni, built on the principles of academic foundations, holistic support, diversity, inclusion, and community engagement.There are four programs offered under the Spanning The Gaps portfolio:Transition Foundations ProgramVeterans Transition to Education (VTE)Aboriginal Foundations ProgramRyerson University Now (RUN) ProgramThis page highlights the ongoing events and achievements of the Transition Foundations Program students, program alumni, current undergraduate and graduate students as well as the staff and faculty directly involved in the Transition Foundations Program.For more information, please email spanningthegaps@ryerson.ca
