Values of Colleges for international students ▪ Permission to work and study ▪ Affordable ▪ Interactive classes ▪ Many program offer CO-Op work terms (paid work experience) ▪ Closely connected to employers’ needs (many professors are in business) ▪ Applied learning and applied research for innovation ▪ Qualifying yourself to the market you want to work in Source: CICAN

Strengths & Benefits ▪ Strength in academic offerings – Curriculum guided by and developed with Industry ▪ Strength in applied research – Opportunities to participate in hands- on research ▪ Strength in industry connections – close links to industry through co-op terms and work placements ▪ Benefits in small class sizes and more one-on-one instruction time ▪ Benefits in developing critical thinking and analytical skills, as well as hands-on training in the newest technologies Source: CICAN

Strengths & Benefits ▪ At a polytechnic, for example, the curriculum reflects labour market demands through the guidance of Program Advisory Committees (PACs). Comprised of employers, practitioners and recent graduates, the committees identify current and future industry trends and shifts in the skills graduates need to meet employer demands. PACs also assess the effectiveness of existing programs and actively participate in the development of new programs. ▪ There is also a difference in who teaches bachelor’s degree courses at Polytechnics. Skilled practitioners in their field of study prepare the students, not lifelong academics. They are experienced industry leaders and subject matter experts. ▪ Nobina Robinson - The Chief Executive Officer of Polytechnics Canada Source: Nobina Robinson is the Chief Executive Officer of Polytechnics Canada

Two and Three year Diploma • The mainstay of our offerings: two and three year diplomas to train technicians, technologists, mid-level managers and service providers • This is the level that is neglected in most countries, leading to systemic unemployment and lack of productivity • In Canada, we have 7-8 technicians and technologists for every engineer. In most other countries, it is the opposite. Too heavily focused on the university route Source: CICAN

Indicators of Success • Average of 85% of our graduates obtain employment within 3 months of graduating • 95 % of employers satisfied with the graduates • 20%+ of current college students have university degrees but cannot find jobs; Take our one-year Post-Graduate Certificates or Diplomas of Specialization and find jobs.
