“These results indicate what we all know – that hiring an Algonquin College student is good for business. Our graduates are not only satisfied with their education, but easily employable in the job market. Employers seek out our alumni when looking for a highly qualified and dedicated work force. I am proud that we provide learners with skills that companies are looking for, which translate into a valued, skilled and employable workforce,” said Brulé.

Some of the highlights for Algonquin College include:
