New kiosks, which cost approximately $5,000 each, will eventually be installed at every local high school, allowing students to navigate the many program offerings at the college

Sault College will soon be using electronic information kiosks to attract local high school students to its Northern Avenue campus.

It is hoped that the first kiosk — still being populated with more information for high school students to check out — will be erected in the college’s Welcome Centre in the fall. It was also suggested by Sault College board member Sandra Hollingsworth that an additional kiosk could be installed at the Sault Ste. Marie Airport’s terminal. “We’ll be working with high school guidance counsellors to connect things like passions or abilities to programs that we offer,” Bitonti said.

“The local school boards have guidance counsellors that are incredibly passionate and committed to what they do,” said David Orazietti, Sault College president, in an interview with reporters after Thursday’s board meeting.
