Colleges Ontario is the advocacy voice for the province's 24 colleges.

Ontario colleges welcome the commitment to strengthen STEM education and are encouraged by this investment. Colleges Ontario also recognizes that there are many applied programs in the college sector that are not included in the current definition of STEM programming, but are equally essential to our workforce, economy and our future. 

In a letter to Premier Ford, signed by all 24 presidents of Ontario’s public colleges, the sector expressed how they can support the government's “Protect Ontario” agenda.

Open letter: Urgent need for strategic investment in Ontario’s post-secondary education system.

Ontario’s public colleges welcome the federal government’s update to the post-graduation work permit (PGWP) eligibility criteria for graduates of college bachelor’s and master’s degree programs. International students in these programs will no longer be subject to the PGWP field of study requirement and will now be eligible for a PGWP upon graduation.
