Collège Boréal excels in Ontario with top-notch graduate and employer satisfaction rates
SUDBURY, Ontario, Feb. 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Colleges Ontario releases the performance indicators for the province's 24 colleges. Commissioned by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, these indicators place Collège Boréal at the top of Ontario's French- and English-language colleges for graduate satisfaction (87.3%) and employer satisfaction (100%; tied with six other colleges).
Collège Boréal stands out as the only institution to achieve the top spot in at least two of the four indicators measured since the inception of this provincial assessment for the 21st time in 24 years. This year, it ranks 1st in Ontario for graduate satisfaction for the 18th time, and reaches the top of the podium for the 5th time in regard to employer satisfaction. What's more, Boréal's graduation rate is the second highest of Ontario's 24 colleges.
In the history of these performance indicators, only six other Ontario colleges have achieved the best result in two of the four indicators in the same year, and only once each. Since 1998, these indicators have measured graduate satisfaction, employer satisfaction, graduate employment rate, and graduation rate. Although the Ministry of Colleges and Universities no longer measures student satisfaction since 2019, Collège Boréal has continued to assess this indicator independently for continuous improvement purposes.
When asked, "Would you recommend your program to someone else?" 95% of graduates answered, "Yes." This recommendation increases to 96% for Collège Boréal in general. As for employers, 91% would recommend these graduates to other employers.
