The Nunavut Arctic College Kivalliq Campus in Rankin Inlet has announced its program lineup for the fall 2026 term, featuring an expansion of training opportunities in the health and skilled trades fields. Prospective students can now apply for a variety of new and returning programs designed to address regional workforce needs.
For those interested in health careers, the college is offering the first year of the Practical Nursing program, continuing a path established when the first cohort graduated in 2023-2024. The campus will also introduce a Pre-Health Sciences Certificate to help students prepare for future health studies. Additionally, a Bachelor of Social Work degree program will be available, offering a local option for students who have completed their social service diploma.
Training at the Sanatuliqsarvik Nunavut Trades Training Centre is also expanding. Starting in September 2026, students can enroll in specialized training for carpentry, electrical work, and housing maintenance. This expansion is supported by a partnership involving the Nunavut Housing Corporation and Pewapun Construction, which includes a $3 million investment in materials and specialized support. The initiative provides apprenticeship training for students while they assist in the construction of new affordable housing units.
Beyond health and trades, the Rankin Inlet campus is offering a second year of Management Studies for students pursuing a diploma in business administration. Officials encourage interested residents to review program requirements early, as enrollment numbers are limited.
