A Bold Way
Forward

Georgian has always been a place of opportunities and igniting potential – for our students, employees, partners and communities.

Driving local, regional and global impact.

Though we serve communities in Ontario, our influence is borderless with our graduates making an enduring mark all over the world. Part of our success is good governance and having a strong strategic plan to guide us.

During this time of rapid change brought on by technological, demographic and labour-market shifts, a forward-thinking plan helps us align on areas of priority, foster a shared sense of purpose, inform our decision making, respond to challenges, and inspire confidence as a postsecondary and regional leader.

Our next strategic plan outlines how Georgian will expand our impact through cutting-edge programs, reimagined services and supports, collaborative partnerships, and an audacious and creative mindset.

At its core is our commitment to people and cultivating a culture of true belonging. We know diversity of thought and perspective is a powerful driver of innovation.

Through bold new commitments, we’ll empower our students, employees and partners to bring their talents, perspective and skills to our collective efforts to meet workforce needs, address skills shortages, and drive meaningful change.

As we look to 2030, achieving our plan will take the ongoing dedication, investment and engagement of us all. I’m confident we’ll build on Georgian’s outstanding record of success to create a legacy and future we can all be proud of.

Thank you for your continued support.

Kevin Weaver | President and CEO, Georgian College
Georgian has proudly served Ontario for almost 60 years – recognized for our exceptional people, programs and partnerships. We’ve grown into a strong, vibrant, multi-campus community driving positive social, economic and environmental impact.

As our world, workplaces and the needs of our constituents change, we must continue to evolve too. That’s why we’re introducing a new strategic plan to guide us to 2030 and beyond, designed to build on our strengths while redefining what teaching, learning, working – and, ultimately, serving you – looks like.

We know a thriving future rests on our ability to innovate. We need to be forward looking about postsecondary education and equip learners across fields and industries to be part of the solution that will help address Canada’s productivity challenges. This means doing things differently and leading with curiosity, compassion and imagination. It means challenging ourselves to be even more creative, collaborative, visionary and brave.

Our plan outlines how we’ll remain at the forefront of transformative, career-focused education while delivering unrivaled experiences and game-changing innovation. It reflects insights and feedback we heard from our constituents about the kind of institution they expect us to be – one that’s bold and daring.

Our plan also maintains important elements that make us who we are: profoundly caring, supportive, nimble, responsive, and consistently striving for excellence.

This is our blueprint for success and inspiration to shape a strong and sustainable future. I encourage you to spend some time reflecting on it and look forward to partnering with you as we bring our plan to life.

Influencing meaningful change has always been part of our DNA. I’m confident, together, we’ll bring our mission, vision and values to life and produce the highly skilled global citizens, innovators and changemakers our workplaces and world need – all while exuding hope, optimism and a passion for what’s possible.
