As well, the College boasts nearly 40 Program Advisory Committees whose members are leaders in their industry or profession. These Advisory Committees play a critical role in setting standards for curriculum quality and relevancy. In addition, Georgian promotes the services of the Kempenfelt Conference Centre to employers and community groups across Canada for their training and meeting events. CDC resources include a career research library, online and CD-ROM access, group and individual interest and aptitude testing, and trained educational counsellors. Georgian also recently opened Centres for Access and Learning Disability Services in Barrie, Orillia, and Owen Sound to assist students who face challenges due to learning disabilities.
Facilities feature assistive resources, voice-activated computers, and personal counselling.
Designed to provide a quality learning experience, the Centres enhance the educational and workplace experience of Georgian students. Many incoming students cite the co-op component as one of the deciding factors in choosing to attend Georgian. This new Centre will provide capacity for increased College enrolment until at least 2010. The Centre is also a key part of an innovative partnership with York University that will see university courses offered on-site. As well, increased public and employer interest in Georgian College, and the Ontario college system, will pay large dividends in terms of producing any organization's greatest asset - a highly skilled workforce.
