What triOS College does

triOS College Business Technology Healthcare Inc. is a Canadian private career college founded in 1992 and operating under triOS Education Group. The institution delivers career-focused diploma programs across six faculties (Business, Healthcare, Technology, Law, Supply Chain, and Education) through nine Ontario campuses spanning Windsor to Ottawa, supported by online self-study, remote class, and hybrid delivery formats. Its 37 programs range from 25 to 61 weeks, with approximately 70% incorporating internship, practicum, or outreach components, and the institution reports a 90% graduate employment outcome metric and 90,000+ lifetime graduates across triOS and sister institution Eastern College.

The business model is tuition-driven: students pay per-program fees with financial support through OSAP, bursaries (including a $1,000 high school graduate bursary, $1,500 paralegal bursary, and $5,000 Welcome to Canada Bursary for refugees), and scholarships. Supplementary revenue comes from corporate training workshops and wellness massage packages. Recent product development emphasizes AI-integrated curricula (Digital Marketing and Graphic Design using AI, Mobile/Web Developer Using AI, Data Analysis and AI Specialist) and an ISP-endorsed BEAM business program. Technology delivery relies on standard learning management systems, virtual classroom infrastructure, and the proprietary "Living Classroom" PSW model embedded within a long-term care home.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer through campus visits, online applications, career quizzes, virtual info sessions, and events, with strategic partnerships (Mohawk College, DeVry University, Institute of Sales Professionals, Sault College, ILScorp) extending curriculum credibility and student pathways. The college is founder-led: co-founders Frank Gerencser (CEO) and Stuart Bentley (Chair) have led the organization for over 32 years, with Craig Donaldson promoted to President in November 2024 as part of planned succession. Recognition includes 16 consecutive years as one of Canada's Best Managed Companies with Platinum Club status and a 2026 Great Place to Work certification.
