Wellington, September 17, 2019 — On September 10 - in the middle of post-tropical storm Dorian clean up! – Collège de l’Île welcomed Lady Aude, owner of the agency IAC of Cameroon-Africa, at its Charlottetown campus. Mrs. Lady Aude and her team recruit international students in Cameroon and surrounding countries.

Two of her students have been attending Collège de l’Île since September 2018. Héraldine Porret-Chegueu is enrolled in the Resident Care Worker program and Vanelle Tchokotcheu is enrolled in the Licensed Practical Nursing program.

While briefly on Prince Edward Island, Mrs. Lady Aude toured Collège de l’Île’s Charlottetown campus and met with key stakeholders who work directly with international students. Meeting participants included Rodolfo Ortega, international development consultant for the Collège, Eugénie Parent from the Coopérative d’intégration francophone (CIF), Donald DesRoches, Collège de l’Île president, Dominique Chouinard, director of communications for the Collège, and Anne Poirier, Charlottetown campus coordinator.

“Our goal is to have 50 full-time students enrolled in our college programs by September 2021,” said Mr. DesRoches. “Recruiting international students to train in French in Prince Edward Island is one of our strategies. On a larger scale, our goal is to increase the number of French-speakers on the Island and to contribute to the demographic growth of the province.”

Collège de l’Île currently has around 30 full-time college students in its eight (8) programs, in addition to the part-time students, over 400 French-language training students and customized training clients.

Par la remise annuelle de bourses d’une valeur de 1 500 $ chacune, le CNFS encourage les étudiantes et les étudiants des programmes qu’il soutient à poursuivre leurs études en français et à faire carrière en santé au bénéfice du mieux-être des communautés francophones en situation minoritaire.

Wellington, June 26, 2019 - The new Prince Edward Island government’s budget provides Collège de l’Île with a net increase of $5,800 in its operating funding.

The provincial government calculated this 2% increase on only part of the Collège’s funding, the share from the provincial government. In comparison, the consumer price index increased 2.3%, as the Minister of Finance indicated in her budget paper on the economy. This $5,800 is equivalent to the tuition fees paid by one student in the Licensed Practical Nursing program at Collège de l’Île for a single academic year.
