[ Message from the CEO ]

Don’t just get a job, build a career C

areer colleges across Canada offer students the opportunity to make an important decision: do you want a job, or do you want a career?

Canada’s career colleges offer accelerated programs and the kind of hands-on experience that employers are looking for. This helps students get better jobs, sooner.

Condensed programs and flexible class time make it easy to finish your classes while taking care of other responsibilities.

What’s more, career colleges are able to adapt quickly to labour market changes, altering existing programs and creating new ones to appeal to industries facing labour shortages. This gives students the training they need to fill the jobs that are in demand now.

Since the 1800s, career colleges in Canada have been providing students with quality education to succeed in the job market. The numbers speak for themselves: every year, across Canada, more than 150,000 students choose career colleges.

Canada’s career colleges are also working to help Canadians and the Canadian economy in other ways, such as through the work we do at NACC’s Alterna-

tive Career Pathways initiative.

Through this program, NACC members are helping Canadian newcomers utilize the workplace skills and experiences they developed before immigrating to Canada. This helps them overcome credential-recognition barriers and allows them to use their skills here in Canada.

For newcomers who have used this program, the career college courses they enrolled in were not just a chance to pad their resumes with Canadian education credentials – they were an open door to a better and brighter career.

Canada’s career colleges are teaching students how to thrive in exciting new careers. Don’t settle for just another job.

How to get an education that will

get you a job For almost two centuries, career colleges have been a key aspect of Canada’s post-secondary educational landscape.

In today’s economy, the training provided by these institutions remains as relevant and important as ever. [ 6 ] www.nacc.ca

[ Cover ]

Whether you are a recent high school graduate, a newcomer to Canada or an adult seeking retraining or skills upgrading, there are myriad programs in some of the most high-demand fields available at the over 500 career colleges across the country. The benefit of these targeted programs is that they are specifically designed to get you into the workplace quickly and to make you effective and productive on the job.

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce recognizes the importance of job-focused training. It estimates there will be 550,000 unskilled workers who won’t be able to find work by 2016 and by 2021 the number could be well over a million. But for the skilled sector, it’s a very different story; estimates suggest there will be 1.5 million skilled job vacancies in 2016, and 2.6 million by 2021.

The Government of Canada maintains a commitment to job creation, economic growth and long-term prosperity as three of its highest priorities. “By bringing employers to the table, career colleges across Canada are helping Canadians get the skills in demand in today’s economy,” said The Honourable Jason Ken-

ney, then-Minister of Employment and Social Development. “Through measures like the Canada Apprentice Loan, Canada Job Grant and apprenticeship grants, the Government of Canada is helping Canadians get well-paying jobs and helping employers get the skilled workforce they need.”

The value of career-focused education is further highlighted by recent studies which identify the projected highest-demand jobs. For example, a Globe and Mail article presents data quantifying the anticipated demands for various trades in the coming years in British Columbia, which is comparable to the picture all across Canada. Training for nine of the top ten jobs is available through Canada’s extensive network of accredited career colleges. The Globe’s findings are easily mapped to the career colleges in Canada offering relevant programs.

It’s evident that an investment in accredited trade training is extremely likely to be time and money well spent. Career colleges are provincially approved and regulated, so you can have confidence that both program Continued on page 8

standards and quality are scrutinized and continually enhanced.

There is compelling data that further supports the value of a career college education. A survey undertaken by R.A. Malatest & Associates Ltd. discovered that 79 per cent of graduates enjoy higher income than they were earning prior to their career college training. In addition, 89 per cent of graduates are participating in the workforce and of those, 80 per cent are working in sectors related to their training.

“This is clear proof that career college graduates are workplace-ready,” notes Serge Buy, CEO of the National Association of Career Colleges (NACC).

Our member colleges understand how important it is for the employers of some of today’s fastest-growing sectors to secure quality employees who are competitive, trainable and retainable. Career colleges offer hands-on training programs that definitely prepare our students to succeed in today’s competitive world.”

As the focus on hiring properly trained

employees intensifies in many sectors, Canadian career colleges offer a number of benefits. In addition to flexible training options to fit students’ schedules, they present a practical cost-effective alternative approach to post-secondary education and skills training. As well, like most other post-secondary educational institutions, financial aid may be available for some students and programs. Students interested in a career in the trades might also want to explore the possibility of participating in the Red Seal program. Red Seal is a set of interprovincial standards established to provide greater mobility for skilled workers across Canada. Over fifty trades are included in the program, and many of the schools under the NACC umbrella offer Red Seal training.

Due to the specialized, focused nature of career colleges, they are able to adapt quickly and respond to changing job markets. This ensures that students are able to gain the education and practical work experience they need, leading to meaningful employment opportunities in Canada or abroad.

Career Spotlight A look at three in-demand programs

Personal Support Worker People suited to the role of the Personal Support Worker are people with compassion, empathy and strong work ethic,” Brenda Miklos, an education supervisor in the PSW program at Medix College of Healthcare

[ 12 ] www.nacc.ca

Providing essential care in changing times Canada’s evolving demographics and healthcare practices are leading to a steady increase in the demand for personal support workers (PSWs).

This rewarding career path offers an opportunity to provide a wide range of care services for post-surgical or post-illness patients as well as for the elderly. At a career college, students embark on a comprehensive 26-week program giving them concrete skills to succeed in this challenging yet fulfilling field.

Currently offered in Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, the PSW curriculum, developed by the National Association of Career Colleges (NACC), covers a wide range of topics. Students gain practical knowledge of physical and mental health, ethics, household management, care planning, mobility issues, and more. This includes knowledge about various debilitating or chronic medical conditions, how to care for everyone from infants to the elderly, assisting with medication, palliative care support and liaising with medical professionals. Students benefit tremendously from supervised clinical placements and at the completion of the program, they write a comprehensive final exam set by NACC. The job prospects in this field are varied and abundant, with workers making valued contributions in both community and institutional settings, including hospitals, educational

facilities, day programs, long-term care (LTC) facilities and more.

“People suited to the role of the Personal Support Worker are people with compassion, empathy and strong work ethic,” explains Brenda Miklos, and education supervisor in the PSW program at Medix College of Healthcare. “We look for students who love working with people and respect the dignity and self-worth of others. Our most successful students are also dedicated and committed to professional and personal growth.”

Miklos notes that there are many opportunities for PSWs to have fulfilling careers in a wide range of environments. “The work is there if you want it and will continue for many years to come,” she adds. Salaries vary from community to community with averages from $12.00 per hour in a community setting to approximately $25.00 per hour in hospital or LTC Facilities.

As a PSW, you can set your own path depending on the type and pace of work that you are interested in. LTC and hospital settings provide a faster paced environment with an interdisciplinary team, while community home care is more independent, working one-onone with clients. Whichever route you go, the Personal Support Worker program is reflective of the new standards of care and will be both rewarding and challenging, providing a firm foundation of knowledge and skills to lead you into a new and satisfying career.

Residential Framing Technician “Graduates of our Residential Framing Technician Program will benefit in two ways. In developing the program, we had subject matter experts from CHBA-NL review and advise us on the curriculum to ensure it meets the need of the local home builders,” Des Whelan, President of Keyin College

Building your future in home construction If you’re seeking a bright future with abundant job prospects, look no further than the construction sector. The Government of Canada has stated that it is anticipated that there will be as many as 300,000 new workers needed in the construction trades over the next ten years.

Career colleges offer many different kinds of skilled trades programs; among the most popular today is Residential Framing Technician. Developed in response to demand from the residential home building and renovating industry, the program offers practical training that helps workers provide essential services on any homebuilding job site.

The residential framing technician program is comprehensive, commencing with an orientation to the residential construction industry, including vital skills such as workplace safety.

Students then get thorough exposure to construction tools and equipment, drawings specifications and layout and other important theoretical elements.

The third component is hands-on experience in multiple aspects of construction technique, including renovation skills. A typical residential framing technician program comprises 600 hours of technical training followed by

500 hours of work-based training.

While the anticipated salary range varies depending on experience that the graduates might have had prior to the program of study, new entrants could expect to earn $25 to $30 per hour. Ideally an entrant to this program should like to work with their hands, be interested in working in a team environment and be the kind of person who takes pride in their work.

Close contact with homebuilders’ associations serve to keep residential framing technician programs relevant to the demands of the workplace. For example, Keyin College in St. John’s and the Canadian Home Builders’ Association-Newfoundland and Labrador (CHBA-NL) work together to increase professionalism and provide quality training in the residential home building sector.

“Graduates of our Residential Framing Technician Program will benefit in two ways. In developing the program, we had subject matter experts from CHBA-NL review and advise us on the curriculum to ensure it meets the need of the local home builders,” says Des Whelan, President of Keyin College. “As students graduate they will be able to take advantage of direct relationships with the home building community to get access to both work term assignments and employment in the sector.”

IT/Network Administrator Brighton is a Microsoft IT Academy (ITA) Member.

The goal of this program is to train students to an exceptionally high standard in network planning, implementation, administration and support,” Jessica Hurford, Brighton College’s Marketing Coordinator

[ 14 ] www.nacc.ca

Information Technology skills in high demand across all industries Job prospects for skilled Information Technology (IT) professionals are strong in virtually all industries today. Companies both large and small seek highly trained professionals to handle a wide range of duties including computer support, database management, network administration and more. To meet this demand, many Canadian career colleges now offer targeted, concentrated programs in Information Technology and Network Administration with a focus on developing highly specialized technical skill sets to ensure success in the workplace.

Most programs are about one year in duration, offering an ideal blend of theoretical and practical learning. The curriculum includes lectures and workshops led by industry experts with real-world experience.

Those well suited to this program include students with an aptitude for problem solving. Being technologically savvy and having excellent research skills is also important.

Good communication skills are essential, not only for interacting with the users requiring assistance but also to forge an effective, productive working relationship with team members. Organizational and time management skills are a must as well, given that in today’s fast-paced business world, some

problems cannot wait to be solved.

To ensure the continued relevancy of their IT programs, career colleges typically seek out and obtain affiliations with recognized, reputable industry leaders, to ensure their offerings will be recognized by employers as being of the highest calibre. Once students have obtained their IT or Network Administration diploma, they are well positioned to pursue vital industry certification requirements which enable further advancement in their chosen field.

As Jessica Hurford, Brighton College’s marketing coordinator, explains, “Brighton is a Microsoft IT Academy (ITA) Member.

The goal of this program is to train students to an exceptionally high standard in network planning, implementation, administration and support. Students also achieve requisite skills in computer maintenance and management. Our program is based on industry certification requirements as determined by Microsoft, CompTIA, and Cisco and the course of study maps directly to numerous certification pathways for recognized designations.”

“The prospects are bright for graduates of the IT/Network Administration program,” adds Jessica. “The median wage for this career is $27 per hour, with an average annual salary in the $53,000 to $66,000 range. In addition, 85 per cent of Brighton’s graduates have found jobs recently upon completion of this program.”

Many Factors to Con s ide r Wh e n

Choosing a e g e l l o C Career Asking key questions an important part of the selection process

[ 18 ] www.nacc.ca

Choosing a career path can be confusing, intimidating and even overwhelming, but Canada’s many career colleges have a great deal of experience helping students of all ages make the right choices for their future. Whether you’re looking at career college as an option straight out of high school or considering it to retrain or upgrade your skills, there are a number of factors you’ll want to consider as you do your research. While it may sound like a lot to think about, the more you learn, the better prepared you’ll be to choose the right program at the right school for you.

Examine your talents and interests At the outset, it’s essential to take a serious look at your own talents and interests.

If you like working with your hands, perhaps the skilled trades are a good option.

If you’re a people person, there are many possibilities, ranging from business to esthetics to law and much more. Is math your thing? If so, accounting or computing might be right up your alley. If you’re squeamish, health care related fields might not be the best choice, but culinary arts might be a fit. Think about what qualities you have that you would like to apply to your career. What have you enjoyed about previous jobs or volunteering experiences?

When you have brainstormed to develop a short list of programs that you feel might be a good fit, it’s a good idea to make an appointment to speak to one or more college officials to get the answers and details you need to make an informed decision.

Instructors and administrators at career colleges share a common goal: they want to see every student achieve career success.

Make room for growth Speaking of career success, remember that you should be thinking both short and long term. Many fields have room for growth, so it’s important to consider both entry level and more advanced positions.

Does a higher level position in management, for example, appeal to you? Be mindful that your interests and strengths could change as you accumulate knowledge and experience, so it’s best to keep all your options open at the outset. Whatever your aspirations, it’s important to find out if you’ll be able to gain skills at the career college to not only help you get a job quickly upon graduation, but also have the necessary skills to advance in that field.

Campus visits worthwhile If feasible, it’s worthwhile to visit the colleges on your short list to see if you get a good feeling from visiting the campus. If

possible, arrange ahead of time to sit in on a class or two in the program(s) you are interested in; this will help you get a better sense of what to expect. Is it a place where you would feel at ease attending classes?

Are you comfortable with the class size?

If you have an opportunity to look at the text books or other course materials, are they written in a way that you can follow with ease? It can also be very worthwhile to ask to speak with students currently attending the college in a program of interest to you, to find out about their experience and to ask them what they like and don’t like about the college, bearing in

mind, of course, that every person’s experience will be different.

Applying and interviews When you’ve narrowed down the possibilities, you need to look at the application process for the colleges you’re interested in. What are the deadlines? Do you need to provide transcripts from previous education? Is a high school diploma or GED required? What about a letter of recommendation? Is there an admissions test?

Most career colleges require applicants to participate in at least one interview so Continued on page 30

ach year, the National Association of Career Colleges (NACC) celebrates along with the thousands of graduates who are completing their programs and entering the workforce. It’s an exciting time for all involved, including the students, their families and the educators who have helped them gain vital skills, experience and confidence.

NACC annually solicits nominations for both the Graduate of the Year as well as the Educator of the Year. Both awards pay tribute to the hard work and dedication that make a career college education so rewarding and fruitful.

This year, Andres Perera was named Graduate of the Year. His story is a familiar one in the world of career college students: he arrived in Canada from Cuba in 1993, grateful for the opportunity of a better life for himself and his family.

While they struggled initially to make ends meet, in 2012 Perera decided it was finally time to pursue his goal of working in Information Technology. His research led him to triOS College in Mississauga, Ontario, where his perseverance and commitment to his studies led him to graduate with honours – his average was above 90

percent – and with a perfect attendance record.

“Andres was a leader in his class,” says campus director Uzma Bhatti. “The other students looked up to him as a mentor and a role model. He took charge in group settings. He enjoyed learning and assisting his classmates who were struggling.”

Bhatti adds that Perera looked for new ways to think outside the box in the classroom, ensuring that he absorbed all the knowledge being conveyed. Outside the classroom, he completed an internship and

designed to prepare students to meet the requirements of the construction industry and to address the growing need to adopt and develop strategies for sustainable design and development.

“This pioneering program encourages students to become aware of the impact of their professional practice on the environment,” says Christian Pagé, the director of students at Herzing. “Students learn approaches to green construction technologies and renewable energy and are trained to improve the energy performance of buildings.”

“Henry inspires and pushes his students to go the extra mile,” confirms Pagé. “More than one third of Herzing’s first graduating class of Sustainable Architecture students achieved LEED Green Associate certification.”

Like so many career college instructors, Tsang’s expertise is recognized outside of academia as well.

He has been appointed to the board of directors at Emergency Architects of Canada, a non-profit organization that focuses on humanitarian construction projects including post-disaster reconstruction. He also serves as Education Advisor to the Canada Green Building Council and is leading initiatives to have Herzing College’s Sustainable Architecture Program become part of the Council.

It’s an exciting

time for all involved, including the students, their families and the educators who have helped them gain vital skills, experience and confidence.”

This year’s Educator of the Year exemplifies the tremendous skills and experience which career college instructors bring to the classroom. Henry Tsang, who teaches in the Sustainable Architecture program at Herzing College’s Montréal campus, is lauded not only for his capabilities as an instructor but also his passion for the principles of Green Architecture.

Who A new pathway for some

A valued option for retraining While many of today’s practical-minded students are seeking a job-focused post-secondary education, the age profile of career college students is actually much more varied than you might have thought.

Those seeking to upgrade their skills to open new career pathways are well represented, as are immigrants to Canada wishing to build upon international accreditation. All students [ 26 ] www.nacc.ca

share in the many benefits that come from choosing a career college for retraining.

All member institutions of the National Association of Career Colleges (NACC) offer new Canadians the same wide range of options including various trades, information technology, health care, business, culinary arts, technical or scientific work, and many more.

and therefore faster to complete, the calibre of the programs offered is extremely high, with many accredited by third parties.

On top of this, career colleges recognize that fulltime, daytime studies may not be possible for working adults, so many offer flexible schedules to accommodate jobs and other commitments. In addition, colleges are typically conveniently located with easy access via public transit.

NACC is further adding to the diversity of career college student communities through the Alternative Career Pathway (ACP) initiative. Funded by the

With support from NACC’s national office in Ottawa, regional co-ordinators can refer prospective students to career college programs and provide information on alternative career options that will allow them to make use of their training in the workforce.

Osvaldo Bolanos Medina is a recent career college success story. The GTA resident arrived in Canada

Osvaldo Bolanos Medina

from Cuba with a master’s degree in Kinesiology. After several years of factory work, Medina determined that he would need further schooling in order to find work equivalent to what he’d been doing in Cuba.

Debbie Scott

At Bryan College in North York, Medina found a massage therapy program that was a good match with his previous experience. He completed the program in 18 months, at about half the cost of university tuition.

Upon graduation, Medina was able to secure employment as a massage therapist. In addition, he was very proud to be selected to work with athletes at the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto.

A great option for high school graduates While career colleges are largely viewed as places for those seeking a change in career or to upgrade their skills, in fact, they are gaining in popularity among younger students with a clear vision for their future.

Those seeking to enter the workforce quickly and with in-demand skills are choosing career college

with increasing frequency.

Debbie Scott, a career services advisor with Algonquin Careers Academy in Ottawa, confirms that she is seeing an increase in students enrolling straight out of high school. “We have the whole gamut here.

High school students are looking at all their options, including career colleges, which is great,” she says.

Scott adds that the advantages to a career college education are the same whatever a student’s age.

The path to graduation from a career college is led by instructors who bring real-world work experience to the classroom.

Students graduate with highly marketable skills and receive job placement and career management support. Nearly 90 per cent of graduates are active in the workforce and 80 per cent are working in sectors directly related to their training.

The cost of post-secondary education is a challenge for many and career colleges offer the opportunity to graduate in a year or less, as opposed to the two- to four-year span of a college diploma or university degree. And, with more than 1,000 career colleges to choose from across Canada, there’s very likely one near enough to your home town that you’ll save significantly on living expenses.

Eligibility

Expanded for Canada Student Grants

A

long with many of the tens of thousands of students that attend career colleges each year, National Association of Career Colleges (NACC) was very pleased with a recent announcement by the Government of Canada to expand eligibility for the grant portion of the Canada Student Loans Program. The funding announcement clearly recognizes that facilitating access to education and training are key factors in building a strong economy and workforce.

Making post-secondary education – especially career college programs – more accessible will help those entering the workforce or seeking retraining for a new career path. Under the new system which will be

implemented in time for the 2016 – 2017 fiscal school year, Canada Student Grants will be made available to qualifying low- and middle-income students enrolled in educational programs with a minimum duration of 34 weeks. This is a significant enhancement given that currently, students must be enrolled in an educational program with a minimum duration of 60 weeks to qualify.

It is expected that the expansion will help approximately 42,000 additional students per year gain eligibility to Canada Student Grants, including approximately 22,000 students attending private career colleges. Full-time students from low-income families could qualify to receive a grant amount of $125 per month

Making post-secondary education – especially career college programs – more accessible will help those entering the workforce or seeking retraining for a new career path.” while those from middleincome families could receive $50 per month in grant money which does not need to be repaid.

Canada Student Grants are also available for students with permanent disabilities.

These students are entitled to a grant of $2,000 per academic year. Additional funding up to

$8,000 is available for those who require special services or equipment.

Canada Student Grants are available to students from most provinces and territories with the exception of Québec, Nunavut and the Northwest Territories, whose governments have their own student financial assistance programs.

it’s a good idea to practice and prepare for that ahead of time so you can answer questions with confidence and accuracy.

WHAT’S STANDING BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DREAM JOB? You need education to unlock your future.

But where do you begin?

Start at Canada’s most respected private career college, with over 28 years of experience and over 50 campuses.

OUR CAMPUSES OFFER 30+ DIPLOMA AND CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS IN:

Ask about the details You’ll have other logistical considerations.

What is the duration of the program and how much does it cost? If you’ll need to work part-time, ask if classes are offered during the day, evening or both. What is included and excluded in the tuition (books, uniforms, tools, etc.)? What is the college’s policy on issues like attendance and repeating a class if you don’t complete it successfully? Is there financial aid available? What are the placement rates for graduates, and in what sorts of jobs?

What is the anticipated salary range in the field(s) you are considering? How much of the program is theoretical versus handson? Are there work placements and if so, are they arranged by the college? Is there external certification or licensing required to work in your chosen field? Does the college provide assistance to help graduates find employment? Once again, college officers should be able to answer most, if not all, of these questions.

The process of choosing a program and a college may seem like a lot of work, but it’s worth taking the time to do so carefully, to make the best possible decisions and set yourself on an interesting, rewarding career path.”

Planning pays off Remember that career colleges focus on providing quality training so you will be a satisfied customer of theirs, as well as a successful employee in the future. The process of choosing a program and a college may seem like a lot of work, but it’s worth taking the time to do so carefully, to make the best possible decisions and set yourself on an interesting, rewarding career path.
