Why Choose a Career College?

Did you know that Canada is the most educated country in the G7? Canada has a higher percentage of college graduates than any other country in that group.
When you read this, you may automatically think of Ivy League-type universities. However, you may not have considered a career college. What is a career college? Why should you attend one?
These are a few reasons why.

Great Job Opportunities

Last year saw a record high of job vacancies in some industries, such as construction and manufacturing. The practical skills you’ll learn at a career college will be valuable to companies needing new hires that get hit the ground running. If you are studying at a career college, you are in great shape to find a job right away.

Developing Connections

Choosing a career college means attending a school centered around career training. Many schools (including Academy Canada!) work closely with local companies, which can allow you to develop some early contacts in the industry, or get introductions to people who can give you a job in a year or two. It also allows you to leave an impression early.
Did you know about 85% of all jobs are filled through networking? Take advantage of these opportunities and develop a contact that can help land you a job in your desired field.

Faster Completion Time

Pursuing a university degree can feel overwhelming, especially when it involves years of studying subjects that may not align with your passions. But what if you could fast-track your education? At a career college, you have the opportunity to earn your diploma in a much shorter time frame. Depending on your chosen program, you could even complete your studies in less than a year. The specifics will vary based on the school and the field, but the potential to jumpstart your career sooner is certainly within reach.

Additionally, many colleges offer articulation agreements with universities, allowing you to bridge your diploma to a degree if you decide to further your education later on. For example, Academy Canada has agreements in place with College of the North Atlantic, Cape Breton University, University of Lethbridge, Mount Saint Vincent University, and Yorkville University for some programs. This flexibility means you can start your career sooner and still have the option to advance your education when you’re ready.

Go to a Career College

These are just a few of the many benefits of choosing a career college. It’s an excellent option for those looking to enter fields with high job demand, build connections in their industry, and fast-track their education.

If spending four years in a classroom doesn’t sound like the right path for you, a career college might put you on the fast track to achieving your career goals.
