Building a Stronger and More Resilient Canada
Now is the time for Canada to take charge of its future by investing in Canadian businesses, Canadian workers, and Canadian-made solutions.
We are part of Team Canada.
Canada’s public colleges, institutes, polytechnics, and CEGEPs train the builders, growers, makers, caregivers, first responders, innovators and job creators that Canadians depend on to meet our biggest challenges.
As a sector, we provide Canadians with affordable, accessible, and high-quality education and training to help Canadians land good-paying jobs, support Canadian businesses as they grow and diversify, and drive the kind of innovation that strengthens Canadian industries and the economy.
