Survey of Canadian Career College Students - March 2008

Acknowledgements

This research would not have been possible without the participation of numerous contributors, including students, instructors and administrators of private career colleges throughout Canada. Instructors and school administrators provided support in the organization and administration of the in-school survey, including providing valuable class time to facilitate the in-class completion of the survey by students.

Specifically, we are grateful to Rosaline Frith, Director General of the Canada Student Loans Program (CSLP), Human Resources Social Development Canada (HRSDC), Government of Canada, and Catherine Conrad, Senior Director of the CSLP, for their encouragement and support. We would also like to thank Virginia Jakutavicius, Susan Seeger, David Todd, and Melissa Caverly of HRSDC for their advice on privacy and data sharing. As well, we would like to thank Paul Kitchin, Executive Director of the Ontario Association of Career Colleges, for sharing the 1998 NACC survey of member college students, which helped inform the current survey.

Thanks are also due to the steering committee: Andrew Parkin, Director of Research, Joseph Berger and Sean Junor of the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation; Leesha Lin, acting Director of Operational Policy and Research of CSLP; Chris Muldowney and Julienne Springer of CSLP; Anne Burns, Executive Director, National Association of Career Colleges (NACC); and Rob Malatest, Eleanor Hamaluk and Alison Cheesbrough, R.A. Malatest and Associates Ltd.

The project was made possible through the co-operation provided by the more than 380 private career colleges across Canada that participated in this study. Detailed in Appendix A is an alphabetical listing of the participating organizations by province.
