December 8, 2021, Ottawa, Ontario —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.

“I am pleased that graduates and employers continue to demonstrate an above average level of satisfaction. I am proud that we provide learners with skills that employers are looking for, which translate into a valued, skilled and employable workforce,” 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.

Employers are also surveyed to measure their satisfaction with the graduates they hire. The results are then analyzed by an independent research company.
