To continue OLC’s series on introducing its staff members and their roles and responsibilities, OLC would like to again welcome a new member of its team: Stewart Kallio.
Stewart is OLC’s Learning Advisor based in 
Thunder Bay. Stewart’s job involves working at workplace pilot sites in the region to identify workplace skill gaps and needs, implement essential skills programming, evaluate programming effectiveness, and document the overall results.
Stewart has more than 20 years of experience at three Ontario colleges (Cambrian, Niagara, Confederation) including leadership/management experience in access, preparatory, transfer, postsecondary and staff development programming and in building partnerships and establishing dialogue with secondary, postsecondary, Aboriginal, Ministry and community-based organizations.
Stewart consulted on two College Sector Committee projects that identified how academic upgrading improves college participation and retention rates, particularly youth, Aboriginals, second generation learners, social assistance recipients and on-line learners unable to make the successful transitions to postsecondary, pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programs.
Stewart is an artist, teacher and life-long learner.
