The future of work is changing. Students must leverage the right skill sets and credentials for present and future job markets. Collaborations between colleges, companies and professional associations, like OACETT, are becoming more important in achieving this.

In Ontario, the transition from a private-public partnerships model, or 3Ps, to a colleges, corporations and certifications, or 3Cs model, will improve the overall outcome of the student experience, build a vibrant talent pipeline, support industry and highlight the relevance of certification in this trifecta to drive success.
 
OACETT CEO Cheryl Farrow, Seneca College’s dean of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering Technology, Ranjan Bhattacharya and Georgian College’s dean of Engineering and Environmental Technologies and Skilled Trades, Rebecca Sabourin, discuss how the transition from 3Ps (private-public partnerships) to 3Cs (colleges, corporations and certifications) expands innovation in schools, supports industry development and builds careers through certification.
