Cambrian College in Sudbury is one of the 24 colleges of applied arts and technology that comprise the Ontario College System. Established in 1967, the College System provides career-oriented education that combines theory with practical, hands-on experience to ensure an educated, skilled graduate who is more quickly and easily integrated into the work force.

Created to provide para-professional educational opportunities, the Ontario College System serves a client base ranging from the high school graduate to members of the business, industrial and professional communities...from those just learning to read to the highly skilled...from the young to the not so young.

Cambrian College not only exemplifies the System, but also reflects the role education has come to play in effecting social, cultural and economic change.

Cambrian has over 4,300 full-time students enrolled in business, applied arts, human services, health sciences, technology, communication and creative arts, hospitality and tourism, apprenticeship, skills, and trades, with an additional 10,500 registrations taken annually in part-time personal, professional and human resources development courses and seminars.

The College offers about 105 full-time programs, a number of which are designed specifically for the Native community, and more than 800 part-time continuing education programs, courses, seminars, customized training packages, and distance education opportunities. A number of these programs and courses are delivered in a distance education format—through teleconferencing, independent study, and the Internet.

Cambrian's commitment to its many communities is evidenced by the Anishnaabe Studies Division, the College's centre for the advancement of Native education, by its status as a leader in the field of employment and education equity; and by its status as a leader in meeting the needs of persons facing a variety of learning challenges.

Cambrian exemplifies the Canadian mosaic with about 360 First Nations students and a remaining population that is reflective of the multi-cultural community the College serves.

Sudbury and other northern communities are evolving, diversifying and becoming leaders in the global economy. And so, too, is Cambrian.

Working in partnership with the business, industrial and professional communities, Cambrian helps ensure a continued skilled and competitive work force. It is a partnership of many benefits. Through a variety of employee and management professional development opportunities, Cambrian assists business, industry and the professions to address their human resources requirements. In turn, these communities, through membership on the College's Program Advisory Committees and Board of Governors, assist Cambrian in ensuring that programs and courses remain relevant and that graduates have the competitive edge in the job market.

Cambrian also works in partnership with numerous school boards, training institutes, universities and other institutions—locally, nationally, and internationally—in order to provide additional educational opportunities and to share expertise and resources. Some of these partners include Laurentian University; Athabasca University, Northwood University (Michigan); Memorial University; Mount Royal; Ryerson; the Espanola, Manitoulin, and Sudbury District Roman Catholic Separate School Boards; Waubetek Training Institute; Anishinabek Education Institute; Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women-Deemed University, Kumaraguru College of Technology, Nachimuthu Polytechnic, and Seethi Sahib Memorial Polytechnic (India); and Pui Ching Commercial College, Changzhou Industrial Technology College, and Nanjing Tourism School (China).

On the international scene, Cambrian's collaborations with various business and educational partners abroad contribute to the social, economic, and cultural growth of the community and, ultimately, to that of the country. Through these, the College exchanges expertise, knowledge and experience as well as cultural perspectives and a variety of teaching and learning methodologies.

Cambrian College welcomes the opportunity to present "education at its best" in an environment that respects the dignity and uniqueness of each individual, values the cultural and linguistic heritage of each person, and encourages originality, vision and creativity. At Cambrian, the tradition of excellence continues.
