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.
