#DYK - currently, there are 4,500 international #ECE students enrolled in Ontario's public colleges? The federal government’s decision to end their access to work permits will make it much harder to staff childcare centres and make it harder for parents in Ontario to find affordable childcare close to home.

Colleges Ontario is deeply disappointed by the recent federal changes that will disrupt the flow of skilled college grads into key sectors like dental care, child care, housing, advanced manufacturing and engineering. Excluding programs that train workers for these critical roles will worsen labour shortages, directly affecting families and communities across Ontario. Read the statement on the negative impact these changes will have on Ontarians: rb.gy/nw3s0x #cdnpse #onpse #onpoli @DavidPiccini @VictorFedeli
It was great to meet with Minister Quinn, the new minister of Colleges and Universities, to discuss the key role public colleges have in meeting the province's workforce needs. College grads are the backbone of Ontario’s economy, filling critical roles in essential industries like health care, construction, tech and more. We look forward to working with Minister Quinn and @ONtrainandstudy to further advance Ontario's #PSE sector. #cdnpse #onpse #onpoli
