Many factors contribute to the success of these educational partnerships, including the incorporation of new program delivery strategies. ACC has made significant strides in the direction of Aboriginal education. This article explores ACC’s delivery of programs in Aboriginal communities and identifies lessons learned. Aboriginal people are Canada’s largest growing population, and providing effective delivery of higher education positions this population to better their lives, while also providing a trained workforce to meet labour market needs.  \nProviding Post-Secondary Education Programs  \nin First Nations Communities: Lessons Learned  \nAssiniboine Community College (ACC) has been delivering community based postsecondary programs in First Nations communities for many years and has become a “college of choice” in many Aboriginal communities throughout the province. As one of three colleges in Manitoba, it would be worthwhile to identify why ACC is being sought out above other provincial colleges, including a northern college. Many possible factors may contribute to these educational partnerships, including the incorporation of new program delivery strategies that result from lessons learned in previous programs. What are those lessons learned and are they what is making ACC a “college of choice”? This article explores ACC’s delivery of programs in Aboriginal communities and identifies lessons learned while exploring the available research.  \nBackground  \nBased on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada publications (2013), the Aboriginal population is the fastest growing population in Canada. In addition, the number of Aboriginal people living in urban centres in Canada has grown significantly and, in some areas, the Aboriginal population has more than doubled. One example is in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where the Aboriginal population makes up 10% of the city population – more than four times what it was 25 years ago (Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, 2013, para. 3) .  \nAccording to the Association of Canadian Community Colleges (ACCC, 2012), colleges across Canada are committed to improving education outcomes for Aboriginal people. However, of the self-identified Aboriginal students in post-secondary education (PSE) in 2006, 62% were in a college or institute compared to only 16% in a university (Statistics Canada, 2006, as cited in ACCC, 2012, p. 1) . Colleges may be cited as the educational path of choice because they –  \n􀁸 offer a diverse range of programming that includes certificate, diploma ,and apprentice training  \n􀁸 embed traditional cultural knowledge in curriculum and offer support services to graduation, including employment readiness  \n􀁸 develop partnerships with Aboriginal communities in order to address specific community needs  \nThe purpose of this article is to explore current practices undertaken at ACC in the delivery of community-based PSE programs. The focus is on ACC’s models of delivery of certificate and diploma programs in various Aboriginal communities, and the evolution of the delivery based on lessons learned. I also refer to two programs currently being delivered in two very different FN communities in Manitoba, one very remote and the other more urban, and I compare and contrast the impact of these differences. ACC’s experience and model of delivery are measured against the available literature in order to identify possible gaps in the research on this topic.  \nAboriginal education has been a topic of great discussion and debate, with the most significant impact remaining from residential schools.
