Community Impact
What is our impact on the community? By expanding students’ knowledge and credentials, we open up new career paths and opportunities for cultural growth.
At the School of Continuing Studies, we encourage motivated people by giving them the tools to create change at every level – in their lives, in their communities, across Canadian society and in the larger world. By unleashing their full potential through continuing education, our students have an impact on every aspect of community life.
- Developing Canadian talent: Our students bring new insights and expertise to their jobs, advancing organizations and the entire economy as they realize their own ambitions. We expand the talent pool, helping Canadian employers compete on the global stage.
- New business opportunities: Our students gain the confidence and know-how to launch entrepreneurial ventures, further fuelling economic growth. Many forge relationships at the School that lead to future collaborations.
- Expanding newcomers’ horizons: We offer sure routes to new credentials for internationally educated professionals, who too often are underemployed in the Canadian marketplace. We also help students from abroad strengthen their English language skills.
- Enriching communities: Many of our programs foster creative collaborations that enhance life in Toronto and throughout Canada. Our students and instructors help shape a society that is more adaptable, collaborative, culturally aware and energized by new ideas.
