The Ontario college system is comprised of 24 higher education institutions: 21
colleges of applied arts and technology; and, 3 college institutes of
technology and advanced learning. The colleges offer programs in almost 600 program areas, serving more than 200
communities throughout Ontario. Each year, Ontario’s colleges serve 200,000 full-time students and 300,000 part-time students.
Ontario college graduates form the largest component of the six-million strong
labour force, successfully employed in all sectors and industries. 35% of
Ontario’s workers (2.1 million) have a college qualification. Almost 90% of graduates
who enter the work force find employment within six months of graduation and
ninety-three percent of their employers report they are satisfied or very
satisfied with the college graduates they hire.
Colleges provide a supportive learning environment for people from all walks of
life. Recent statistics show that almost two-thirds of college applicants come
from the workforce or other postsecondary institutions, while more than
one-third of college applicants have previous postsecondary experience before
entering college.
