Ontario Career Colleges and Trade Schools

Career Colleges and Technical Schools in Ontario

Ontario colleges offer technical, undergraduate and graduate study

A province in Canada that is larger than Spain and France combined, Ontario offers educational opportunities from certificates to doctoral degrees. With 10 percent of the population holding a trade certificate and more than 26 percent of the population holding university degrees, the prospects abound in this province.

Ontario is known for its beautiful wilderness and rich cultural. If you are a student who wants to study abroad, this presents the chance to explore another country, while you attain your degree.

Ontario career education includes career college, trade schools and technical schools with degrees and specializations in engineering and design, military, management, visual arts, fine arts, business and religious studies among others.

Cutting-edge career education meant to inspire

Around 500,000 students are enrolled in post-secondary education in Ontario colleges and universities, with the top 24 public schools pulling in more than 200,000 students.

College and universities in Ontario have opened up new fields to draw in students, including:

  • green architecture
  • energy audit techniques
  • brewery operations management
  • game development
  • water quality technician
  • wind turbine technician
  • medical robotics and automation
  • ecological restoration
  • video game art
  • advanced lasers

In addition to traditional degrees offered, these make Ontario a fun place to study abroad, whether you are looking for a non-traditional or traditional field of study. This has increased Ontario's international student enrollment to more than 10,000 students, double what is was five years ago.

Largest major and largest Canadian university

Engineering is one of the top degrees pursued in the province. Ontario olleges offer programs for many types of engineers. One good reason is the post-graduation pay. Civil engineers earn an average of $33.65 Canadian dollars per hour, while software engineers earn $36.60 Canadian dollars per hour. These are some of the top occupations for Toronto, the capital of the province.

The University of Toronto is Canada's largest university with more than 50,000 undergraduate students. In addition to the vast number of degree programs available at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The university also offers professional programs in dentistry, education, law, medicine, nursing and pharmacy.

Top employers if you plan to stay

If you are not a Canadian citizen and are studying abroad, once you finish your education, there are a number of top employers in the Ontario area, who may be willing to sponsor a work visa. These are some of the top employers:

  • Agfa HealthCare
  • Bayer Inc.
  • BMO Financial Groups
  • Corus Entertainment
  • Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
  • Hershey Canada Inc.
  • Hewlett-Packard Canada
  • Home Depot Canada

Ontario offers an average per capita income of around $38,000, slightly higher than the national average. It was also the birthplace and home of Margaret Atwood, Wayne Gretzky, Jim Carrey and Shania Twain, a group as famous as they are diverse in their fields. Whether you want to write, play hockey, act, sing or none of the above, you should be able to find a degree that takes you there--and a beauty that inspires you to succeed--in Ontario.
