Becoming a member of the NACC is an investment for your institution.
Have You Had Any Interest In International Students?
When the federal government looked at changing the international student visa program, NACC advocated at the federal level that our members be eligible to receive international students.
Have You Benefited From The Canada Job Grant?
When the federal program created the Canada Job Grant program, NACC was at the forefront of the debate, ensuring access to the program for our members. It resulted in a number of regulated career colleges benefitting from the program. The program is still open to applications.
Working With Indigenous Students?
A number of government programs specifically excluded career colleges from being able to receive funding when working with indigenous communities. We changed that and our members are now eligible to receive funding.
Your Students Receive Funding From The Canada Student Grant Program?
That’s because we continue to stress the importance of the sector to decision makers.

NACC Is Best Suited To Represent You
Since 1896, NACC has represented the sector well. When the former Prime Minister of Canada announced a change to the Canada Student Grant program in 2015 in Vancouver, he referred to the National Association of Career Colleges and our members were front and centre.
When the federal Budget announced an important funding measure in 2013, NACC was mentioned in the Budget document and in the speech from the Minister of Finance.
We have participated in parliamentary committees to debate various measures affecting our members, been on TV and radio to promote the sector and have attended trade shows (for domestic and international purposes).
In short: we are the organization that, at the national and international level, is best suited to represent you, identify opportunities that may benefit you and raise the positive profile of the sector.
