Confederation College Student Ages

Confederation College hosts a variety of age groups in its classrooms across Northwestern Ontario.

A presentation on how the different generations work together and collaborate at school was presented at the Kenora campus on Friday.

Coordinator of Councilling Services Jim Lees says the loss of forestry related jobs means more and more baby boomers are hitting the books alongside Generation Y.

Generation Y is more comfortable with computers and technology, while many baby boomers need to learn how to use the equipment while studying the course work as well.
