tedcTimmins Economic Development Corporation launched the Learn in Timmins website in May 2015.

As we move forward into the school year, opportunities will be in full swing with a considerable amount of learning possibilities with University and College programs, workshops, conferences, corporate training, community education and more.

The purpose of the website is to have an easy to find one stop location where individuals can access all forms of education.  The user can search for a course or program that meets their need or desire.  The learnintimmins.com website is a valuable tool available for the service provider to enhance the marketing and promotion of their programs and courses.

Learnintimmins.com is free to use for both service providers and those scouting for educational opportunities right here in Timmins.

The learnintimmins.com concept came from the Timmins 20/20 plan “Strengthen our community’s social and cultural fabric through increased promotion of the local educational opportunities.”

The website streamlines the community’s access to find courses locally to enrich their educational prospects and experiences.

Learnintimmins.com was developed by the City of Timmins IT Department in partnership with the Timmins Economic Development Corporation.

“The LearninTimmins site is another way Timmins is living up to its brand promise, which is to provide people with the resources and opportunities that allow them to build an excellent quality of life here. Timmins has some truly world class educational programs, and I know this website will help our local institutions and providers get the message out,” said Maggie Matear, a member of the Timmins 2020 Strategic Plan implementation team.”

Fred Gibbons, Chair of the Timmins Economic Development Corporation says “There is a tremendous wealth of educational and training opportunities available within the city to its residents.  Frequently, one of the impairments to people engaging to further their education is the seeming maze to navigate through to find programs and courses that align to your particular interests and where job opportunities exist.  The Learnintimmins.com website goes a long way to providing a single-source reference of all that is available in Timmins.  Learning is described as a journey… a lifelong process.”
