Steps to Success is an adult education program offered at the YWCA Thompson where those 18 plus can upgrade their education and work skills for free.

A variety of classes are offered every month as Cat Cogle, Program Co-ordinator, explains.

“We have about 200 different workshops that we can offer. What happens is somebody phones and says “Hi Cat, I need to learn how to use Microsoft Office Word”, for example, and I’ll say “Okay, these are the available times.” The person will pick a time and then I open it up to everybody because I figure if one person needs that training, there are other people who do as well.”

Classes include other computer-related skills, resume writing, learners’ permit prep and, their newest one, “Buying a House.”

Steps to Success also offers certification courses for Safe Food Handling, Safe Alcohol Service and Cannabis Retail which can be taken in-person or online.
