KPI Results for Niagara College – Niagara region campuses
Results continue to show that Niagara College graduates get jobs, and that employers are very satisfied with the skills and knowledge NC graduates bring to the workplace.
Four of the original five KPIs continue to be collected province-wide, however, the student satisfaction survey was discontinued after 2018-2019, as the province transitioned to the Strategic Mandate Agreement 2020-2025 (SMA 3) agreements.
