Your Association - OACC

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

OACC has over 270 current members, with membership growing each month.

Our members contribute to the economy of Ontario by providing almost 63, 000 graduates annually in hundreds of essential, skilled fields such as IT, Business, Hairstying, Police Foundations and Heath Care to name just a few.

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 Student Financial Assistance Branch.  We also provide Student Transcript Storage Service - that is approved by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities for PCCs to use.

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.

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.
