What they're lobbying on (2)
  • Changes to Student aid and Grants to ensure equitable access to regulated career colleges in budget 2025 and its impact on our members.
  • Private Career Colleges are not eligible to have students apply for Post Graduate Worker Permits. The NACC would like to see this changed as it believes their students are being disadvantaged and discriminated against. To do this there must be a directive from the ministerial level that will allow for post graduate students to make application for the worker permits.
