Key Performance Indicators
Note:
The Program Experience Survey and the Ontario College Student Experience Survey help Niagara College gather data and important feedback from students to inform program review and continuous improvement efforts. These surveys replace the discontinued KPI Student Satisfaction and Engagement Survey, used provincially between 1998-99 and 2018-19.
What are Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)?
The Ministry of Colleges and Universities instituted a system of performance measures for its colleges in 1999. The measures are called Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs.
Niagara College also provides Occupational Data by program, including occupational descriptions, wage rates and job postings.
