At North American Trades Schools, we adhere to the Ontario government’s mandate regarding Key Performance Indicator (KPI) surveys, a practice established since 1998.

These surveys measure the extent to which our institution fulfills the needs of our students, graduates, and employers. The Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, in conjunction with Ontario Colleges, has identified five key measurements as the cornerstone KPIs:

• Graduate Employment
• Graduate Satisfaction
• Employer Satisfaction
• Student Satisfaction
• Graduation Rate

These surveys play a pivotal role in enabling NATS to uphold our commitment to delivering high-quality, innovative, and responsive education within a supportive and safe environment.

Specifically, the Graduate Employment and Graduate Satisfaction KPI data are garnered through the Graduate Satisfaction Survey, a comprehensive telephone survey conducted six months post-graduation by a third-party research consultant, Forum Research. This survey captures graduates’ employment experiences and their overall satisfaction with their educational journey at NATS.
