CJ College is always trying to improve in many areas including how we assist our students in gaining employment, and improving student/graduates’ overall experience when studying at the college. Graduates will be called by Forum Research Canada, which is a research company contracted by Ministry, Colleges & Universities. Our students are informed ahead of time about the calls as a Graduate Satisfaction Survey is completed from each telephone call and is used to measure CJ College’s KPI.
How many students successfully graduate from private career colleges? Do graduates find jobs and are these jobs related to their training? How many students pay back their student loans? Since 2013, Ontario’s career colleges – or CCs – have worked with the ministry and its partners to gather data to answer these questions. The data is used to develop measurable values called key performance indicators – or KPIs. KPIs show how graduates have fared after graduating from CC vocational programs. They help future students make more informed decisions about their postsecondary education and help institutions identify areas of strength and weakness and opportunities for improvement.
Under the authority of the Ontario Career Colleges Act, 2005, the Superintendent of Career Colleges issued a policy directive setting out five CC KPIs:
Graduation Rate
Graduate Employment Rate
Graduate Employment Rate in Field of Study
Graduate Satisfaction Rate
Employer Satisfaction Rate.
Graduation rate is calculated from audited data submitted by CCs three times per year. The other four KPIs are calculated from surveys taken by graduates and their employers.
The ministry also calculates Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) loan default rates for CCs approved to accept OSAP-assisted students, which are also considered a performance indicator for the sector.
