Centennial College is Ontario's first community college, which over the last 50 years has transformed itself into a worldly institution, with a presence in countries like China, India, South Korea, and Brazil. Centennial was established in 1966 and primarily serves the eastern portion of the Greater Toronto Area through five campuses and seven satellite locations. The college is best known for its record of exemplary teaching, innovative programming and extensive partnership building. It's mission is to educate students for career success. They make every decision to support the career and personal development of their learners. The curriculum, teaching and services also demonstrate that they value the diverse profiles of their learners.

The College believes that a Centennial education is an education without borders, because the world has changed and so have they. They have re-created the College, giving themselves a unique position in the marketplace and the world. They are now prepared for the next set of challenges - to be more innovative and entrepreneurial, to further exploit the benefits of technology, to creatively engage our employees, to build more bridges with communities and employers and to see our graduates do meaningful work and have meaningful lives.
