Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are a province-wide accountability tool to measure how well Ontario colleges meet the needs of students and the marketplace. KPI’s are conducted annually by an independent body on behalf of the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities and the colleges' umbrella group, Colleges Ontario.
What Type of Information/Data are We Seeking?
KPI’s determine the rates and levels of satisfaction among students, graduates, and employers of our graduates through extensive surveying in the following five areas:
Graduate job placement
Graduate satisfaction
Employer satisfaction
Student satisfaction
Graduation rate
