What Mohawk College does

Mohawk College is a publicly-funded College of Applied Arts and Technology headquartered in Hamilton, Ontario, operating under Ontario's public post-secondary framework and serving domestic, international and Indigenous learners. It delivers diploma, degree, apprenticeship, graduate certificate, and continuing-education programs across ten academic areas including Business, Community Services, Creative Industries, Health, Preparatory Studies, the School of Climate Action, Skilled Trades, Technology, Graduate Studies and Continuing Education, supported by approximately 1,001-5,000 employees and an apprenticeship intake of roughly 2,400 seats per year.

The college runs an industry-led learning model anchored at five delivery nodes: the Fennell main campus, Stoney Creek (skilled trades), the Institute for Applied Health Sciences at McMaster, the Centre for Aviation Technology, and the Mississauga campus, with applied research concentrated in the Joyce Centre for Partnership & Innovation. Core operating assets include a flight-training fleet being expanded toward 13 aircraft, NDT training infrastructure built with CINDE, a new 12,000 sq ft Stoney Creek teaching facility, and a cybersecurity teaching facility. Emerging technical initiatives include AI-assisted wound-care research and partnership-driven training for defence shipbuilding (Hanwha Ocean, Ontario Shipyards) tied to the Canadian Patrol Submarine Project and Surface Combatant programs.

Revenue is assembled from Ontario government operating and capital grants, domestic and international tuition, residence and meal-plan fees, apprenticeship and contract-training revenue, continuing-education fees, philanthropic gifts (including the Joyce Family Foundation and Marinucci Family Foundation), and industry-partner contributions. Customer mix is structurally diversified across individual students, apprentices, Indigenous learners, and employer partners such as ArcelorMittal Dofasco, KF Aerospace, Boeing, Hanwha Ocean, Ornge, Schlegel Villages, Ryder, Thrive and Vicano Construction, with international programming extending reach into Guyana via the SAGE project.
