Participants were assigned to categories which described their relationship to the college. The categories determined which survey questions they were asked. The largest group (32, or 29%) were employers of Northern College graduates, 25 of whom were located in Timmins and the surrounding area (Figure 5). There were 29 economic and community leaders (political or commercial organizations), 26 partners (public/private, profit/nonprofit who provide placements, research partnerships or entrepreneurial opportunities), 16 education, employment and community services leaders (community-based social services and economic development), and 7 Indigenous community leaders (leaders, chief, or council members of First Nation or Métis communities.
