OIDI and NACC Expand English Programs in Canada
OIDI and NACC English programs will give 150 Canadian career colleges access to language and academic skills training.
Oxford International Digital Institute and the National Association of Career Colleges have partnered to expand English language and academic skills programs for career college students across Canada. The agreement gives 150 colleges in NACC’s network access to OIDI’s English language solutions. The programs are intended to support student success, institutional growth, and workforce readiness. The rollout will reach member colleges in the coming months.
Programs for Career Colleges
The offering includes Online Pre-Sessional English, Oxford ELLT, and English for Care. Online Pre-Sessional English and Oxford ELLT have been endorsed by NEAS. English for Care is designed to build communication skills for health care and care settings.
Gary Palmer, Managing Director at Oxford International Digital Institute, said:
“We are delighted to be partnering with NACC to support their member career colleges and their students across Canada. Both organisations share a strong commitment to improving student outcomes and helping learners develop the skills they need to succeed both in their studies and future careers.”
Workforce Training Pathways
NACC represents more than 500 regulated career colleges and supports career-focused training for Canada’s labor market. The partnership focuses on creating education pathways that help students prepare for employment in critical workforce sectors.
Michael Sangster, CEO at the National Association of Career Colleges, said:
“Career colleges play a vital role in preparing learners for careers in sectors that are critical to Canada's workforce. The more we can create strong pathways into education, the more opportunities we create for students to succeed and for employers to find the skilled talent they need. That's why selecting partners that share this commitment, like OIDI, matters.”
Wider Canadian Rollout
OIDI and NACC will introduce the approved English language solutions to member colleges across Canada. OIDI is part of the Oxford International Education Group and provides online and hybrid academic and language programs, teacher training qualifications, and the Oxford ELLT.
