Our Partners

Centennial College

Over the past 50 years, Centennial College has transformed itself from a local community college to a worldly institution.

Our focus has always been on preparing graduates to enter the workforce, while teaching our students to be leaders. We’ve worked to build lasting partnerships with local communities, while preparing our graduates to succeed globally.

We believe a Centennial education is an education without borders, because the world has changed, and so have we. We’ve recreated our College, giving ourselves a unique position in the marketplace and the world. We are now prepared for the next set of challenges: To be more innovative and entrepreneurial, to further exploit the benefits of technology, to creatively engage our employees, to build more bridges with communities and employers and to see our graduates do meaningful work and have meaningful lives.

Toronto Collaboration Platform

Toronto Collaboration Platform (TOCP) is a partnership between the City of Toronto, CivicLabTO, eCampusOntario and eight of Toronto’s higher education institutions (HEIs).

When COVID-19 struck, the City of Toronto, eCampusOntario, and the eight HEIs in the city began working together to collaborate on research and development projects to support Toronto’s communities, economy, and post-COVID-19. This included mobilizing faculty and students at GTA HEIs to support businesses and organizations. These eight institutions worked with the City of Toronto to select priority research projects that were subsequently co-funded by Mitacs and NSERC. As a result, eight projects from a cross section of industries and disciplines went live in November 2020. These projects have not only supported COVID-19 recovery efforts throughout the city, but they have also provided students with jobs, experiential learning opportunities and micro-credentials as part of their participation. 

TOCP is back for a second round of projects, this time with a focus beyond the scope of COVID-19. Given its success, TOCP will be the model for a province-wide innovation platform which will facilitate collaboration between HEIs, municipalities and businesses across the province.
