As part of the HEQCO's Consortium on International Education, a new report from the University of Toronto scans the regulatory environment of private career colleges (PCCs), offering a comprehensive overview of the landscape in Ontario and across the country. The report offers an overview of PCCs using publicly available legislation, provincial regulations, grey literature and interviews with senior ministry officials responsible for the regulation of PCCs. Divided into four sections, the report outlines the types and requirements of PCCs across Canada; institutional licensing and renewal processes; the requirements for registration as a Designated Learning Institution, which is necessary for enrolling international students; and the student services and supports available at PCCs, including funding programs, counseling services and housing supports.

Our latest blog post focuses on student mental health on campus. HEQCO staff recently conducted a workshop at the Canadian Association of College & University Student Services (CACUSS) 2024 conference, “Supporting our students; Sustaining ourselves.” During the session, over 150 student service professionals from across the country, offered thoughtful feedback and ideas. Check out our latest blog post to find out what we heard from them: https://lnkd.in/e8mHp-Fv For more on student mental health, our report from January, "Supporting Student Mental Health in Ontario: Exploring Best Practices and Identifying Gaps" can be read here: https://lnkd.in/grADxqPy

Our latest report focuses on Public College-Private Partnerships (PCPPs). In Ontario, much of the recent growth in international students was driven by enrolments at public colleges through PCPPs, primarily located in the Greater Toronto Area. PCPPs have existed in Ontario since 2005, but enrolments increased dramatically starting in 2019. In 2023–24, 14 public colleges had partnerships through 23 PCPPs. Twenty percent of all international enrolment at Ontario public colleges was concentrated in PCPP sites. A new Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario (HEQCO) review of PCPPs and their role in supporting labour market needs suggests an important mismatch between programming offered through PCPPs and Ontario online job postings in 2021–2023. PCPP graduates with diploma or graduate certificates may have entered Ontario’s labour market with credentials not required for many of the available jobs. https://lnkd.in/gfGRcMPp #highered #ONpse

ONCAT has published some interesting research on transfer pathways and workforce earnings! For more on this issue, check out our two reports on postsecondary non-completion which were produced in partnership with SRDC. https://lnkd.in/e3E5XvaX https://lnkd.in/gsb8brbg
Decades of research on school-to-work transitions have revealed income disparities based on education levels, fields of study, and program types. The ongoing debate among researchers studying workforce earnings in students revolves around whether transfer graduates receive lower earnings compared to those who directly enter the workforce. Our latest report "Investigating Transfer Pathways and Early Workforce Earnings Trajectories in Ontario," examines the early earnings of Ontario graduates across five key postsecondary pathways, providing essential insights for understanding our sector's development. Read our latest report here: https://lnkd.in/gKGF5prE ... #ONCAT #transfer #pathways #postsecondarypathways #learnermobility #studentmobilty #Ontario #OntarioEducation #workforcearnings #postsecondaryresearch

The Student Experience section of HEQCO’s Quick Stats has a new graphic focused on student progression rates which are indicative of student persistence. A student’s likelihood of persisting in their postsecondary education is tied to their ability to integrate academically and socially. Integration is affected by the complex interplay of a student’s background characteristics, academic preparedness, economic situation and their sense of belonging on campus. Data can be filtered by student status, gender, age group and field of study. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gQcmbuMJ
