Our Programs

We are the single point of access to Canada’s largest post-secondary network.

In Canada and abroad, our programs and projects position colleges and institutes as solutions providers for economic, environmental, and societal issues. We work with governments, employers, and other partners around the to identify challenges and mobilize the strengths of our network to solve them.

National Partnerships

We give colleges and institutes the opportunity to work together towards a common goal, to learn from each other, and maximize the impact of Canada’s largest post-secondary network.

International Partnerships

By linking Canadian institutions with partners all around the world, we help transform post-secondary education and connect learners in Canada and overseas with employment-based training and global skills they need to succeed.
