History.
Yellowhead Tribal College (YTC) was established in 1986 by the Yellowhead Tribal Council to meet the educational needs of its member nations (Alexander First Nation, Alexis Nakota Sioux Nation, O'Chiese First Nation, and Sunchild First Nation) in the context of its primary purpose - to foster social, political, and economic development.
The college's first permanent education program, the University of College and Entrance Preparation Program (UCEPP), was established in the spring of 1984. Since then, this once-small upgrading program has evolved into a college offering its own accredited post-secondary courses, certificates, diplomas, and degree programs, some in partnership with recognized colleges and universities such as Athabasca University, MacEwan University, University of Alberta, and its sister tribal colleges, such as Blue Quills First Nations College and Maskwacis Cultural College.
All of YTC's courses contain First Nations/Aboriginal content; students are provided with a unique educational experience as they gain knowledge through Aboriginal teaching methods supported by culturally appropriate student services.
Yellowhead Tribal College is a member of the First Nation &amp; Adult Higher Education Consortium, a non-profit organization in Western Canada, which coordinates the efforts of its members to provide quality adult and higher education, controlled entirely by people of the First Nations.
