The Kenora Catholic District School Board is hoping that its Multi-Skills Center of Excellence will encourage more students to stay in school.
The Center was officially opened this week, and has a number of features, including a shop area, computer lab and lecture theatre.
Gary Schwartz is one of the teachers at Thomas Aquinas and says the building gives them the space to offer different types of programs.
Schwartz says they are able to offer not only co-op programs through theMulti-Skills Center, but also college level courses for students interested in the trades.
