Posted on Wednesday, May 12th, 2021

OTTAWA (May 12, 2021) – Provincial Key Performance Indicator (KPI) results released today across the province show that Algonquin College continues to provide its learners with a highly effective path to employment upon graduation and that employers remain very satisfied with their performance.

The results, which were released by Colleges Ontario earlier today, indicate that nearly 87 per cent of Algonquin’s graduates found work within six months of graduation. Graduate and employer feedback placed Algonquin above the provincial average among large Ontario colleges in key indicator categories.

Algonquin’s President and CEO, Claude Brulé, said the results offer an important benchmark and provide insights into areas of strength as well as where improvements can be made.

“First, I want to thank our graduates for taking the time to complete the annual survey. It is important they have this avenue for feedback. I am pleased that graduates and employers continue to indicate an above average level of satisfaction. Even in this year of many challenges, I am proud that we never stop striving to innovate and improve the educational experience for our learners,” said Brulé.

Some of the highlights for Algonquin College include:

  • Graduate Satisfaction: Nearly 80 per cent of graduates were satisfied with the quality of their Algonquin College education
  • Graduate Employment: Nearly 87 per cent of Algonquin’s most recent graduates found employment within six months of graduation (above the provincial average)
  • Employer Satisfaction: 85 per cent of employers are satisfied with the quality of Algonquin College graduates hired

Ontario’s public-sector colleges participate annually in the Colleges Ontario KPI survey program. The surveys measure outcomes such as graduate employment rates and graduate satisfaction rates. Employers are also surveyed to measure their satisfaction with the graduates they hire. The results are then analyzed by an independent research company.
