Your Association - OACC

OACC is a non-profit organization established in 1973, originally named the Private Career Education Council. The Association's purpose then and now is to ensure that private career colleges have a provincial voice in Ontario.

OACC offers voluntary membership to over 250 current members, with membership growing each month.

Our members contribute to the economy of Ontario by providing almost 38,000 graduates annually in hundreds of essential, skilled fields.

In addition, OACC has been able to distinguish itself as an Association by offering a Financial Aid Office that operates in partnership with the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities OSAP office. Our primary objective at OACC is to ensure that our member's opinions are heard! Our strength as an organization is derived from our collective numbers. It is this cohesion that allows the views of the Private Career College sector to resonate through the province.

Over the years, OACC has been instrumental in helping its members understand the issues that impact them and providing a unified voice within the sector.
