RRC Polytech – MITT Transition Update April 8, 2026 

RRC Polytech and MITT have been working diligently to complete an academic program review of all MITT programs as we work collaboratively on the transitional process to RRC Polytech.  

Our institutions have come together to do this in-depth review over the last few weeks to finalize the adoption of programs for the fall 2026/2027 academic year. The primary goal of the academic program review was to preserve training capacity across key industries in Manitoba, utilizing a student-centered lens.
