Community Colleges Engage Students In a Number of Ways
When you attend college, you are sure to have a unique experience. That's because these
institutions strive to foster inclusive environments that include a range of supportive
measures that benefit students both in and out of the classroom.
One of Ontario's most respected community colleges is Centennial College. Having been
established as the first college in the province in 1966 it has almost 50 years of experience in
preparing students for careers in the areas of: Health and Community Studies,
Transportation, Business, Engineering Technology and Applied Science, Communications,
Media and Design; and Hospitality, Tourism and Culture. Not only do students attend
classes that blend both theoretical lectures to offer them a solid base as well as practical
experience to ensure confidence in the real world, they also benefit from a number of
student services that ensure their success. Here is a look at some of the services available to
students:

(more than 100 full-time programs and 140 part-time programs, to be exact) that narrowing

in. These professionals include faculty and staff members who help you by finding a
program that meets your interests.
Centre for Academic English: If English isn't your first language, you can advance your
knowledge of it by attending free English tutoring. The tutors are all professionals with
certification from TESL Ontario or TESL Canada who have years of experience teaching
students from around the world.

comfort. And lastly, consultation includes providing referrals to helpers outside the college
if needed.
Aboriginal Education Services: The goal of this service is to connect with Aboriginal
communities to help enrich the Aboriginal student experience. As such, the service hopes to
increase the number of Aboriginal learners accessing and participating in post-secondary
education and training by developing specialized programs, offering apprenticeships and

searches and strengthening community partnerships.
