Success at Work Campaign

Toronto’s workforce is changing. Retiring baby boomers, a shortage in practical skillsets and rapidly evolving technology are combining to threaten future prosperity if we fall behind.

Employers need workplace-ready graduates in growing numbers, and are turning to colleges¹. Most choose George Brown College because our graduates are successful at work².

Students are choosing us as well³ - bright young people with financial challenges, newcomers trying to make their mark in a new community, and university graduates seeking to specialize. In fact, over 50% of students who apply to George Brown are full-time employees, graduates from a postsecondary institution or university students who want a specialized, career-focused education.

Right now, George Brown is at capacity – students are coming to us in numbers we simply can't accommodate, and employers are struggling to find the graduates they need. And the demand is accelerating⁴. That’s why we have embarked on a $250 million expansion vision which includes a new state-of-the-art waterfront health sciences campus, capital expansion projects at our other campus locations, and increasing scholarships and bursaries.

Please consider donating to our Success at Work campaign. Supporting a George Brown student is an investment that creates a positive ripple effect in our community. A student becomes a workplace-ready graduate. An employer fills a critical need. A family moves up the socio-economic ladder. An individual develops confidence, skills and knowledge to last a lifetime. That’s the impact your support can make. That’s Success at Work.
