New rankings show Georgian College performed above average in three of five key performance indicators.
Georgian college released survey results on Wednesday from the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, which show Georgian has the third-highest graduate employment rate of all 24 Ontario colleges.
This measure indicates the number of graduates surveyed who found work within six months of graduation. At 89.7 per cent, Georgian’s graduate employment rate is 3.5 per cent above the provincial average.
Georgian’s graduate satisfaction also tracks above the provincial average at 80.9 per cent. For the past 10 years, Georgian has also consistently outperformed the provincial average for student satisfaction and this year continues the trend with 75.8 per cent of the college’s current students indicating they were satisfied or very satisfied. Georgian has the highest percentage of students enrolled in paid co-op work terms in the Ontario college system in partnership with 6,200 employers.
“I’m especially pleased to see that we have maintained our standing as a leading Ontario college for graduate employment,” said Georgian College President and CEO MaryLynn West-Moynes. “Our faculty, staff and employer partners work together with a singular goal to connect students to the skills and work experience they need to succeed – both in the job after they graduate and as they progress in their careers, whether they choose to work for an employer or for themselves.”
