Education Program Portfolio

In addition to programs that are currently open for registration, Coady maintains a program portfolio of established education programs that have been delivered successfully with partners in Canada and around the world.

These programs reflect Coady’s six-decade experience and may be offered again based on partnership opportunities, regional demand, and cohort readiness. Our annual Education Program scheduling cycles are informed by partner collaboration, cohort development, and Coady’s commitment to high‑quality practitioner focused, adult education.

How Our Programs Are Delivered

Many programs in the portfolio are activated through collaboration with partner organizations and networks, ensuring strong peer learning, contextual relevance, and meaningful impact for participants.

Coady programs are offered on-campus at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada; off-campus in communities globally; or online using a range of communications platforms.
