After high school, after dinner, after retirement—Ontario offers thousands of opportunities to learn something new.

Every year, thousands of people follow their dreams through a vast array of choices in post-secondary education. Sometimes it’s a few hours learning how to paddle a canoe; sometimes it’s several years learning how to build bridges. Training to become a dancer, running your own plumbing business, learning a second language...whatever you want to do for fun or profit, there’s probably a centre in Ontario that teaches it. Here’s a look at the variety of institutions:

• 18 publicly funded degree-granting universities and their affiliates
• 24 publicly funded Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology
• three agricultural colleges and one school of horticulture
• several hospital-based programs
• Royal Military College
• about 450 registered private career colleges
• and many more, including not-for-profit organizations, language schools and school boards
