Since 1998, a collaborative venture between the Ministry of Colleges and Universities (MCU) and the twenty-four Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology has been utilizing the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure the extent to which Ontario colleges are meeting the needs of students, graduates, and employers. The KPI initiative is an attempt to ensure that college programs remain accountable, responsive, and effective in meeting the needs of its stakeholders.

The four indicators used to measure college performance include the following:

  1. Graduate Employment
  2. Graduate Satisfaction
  3. Employer Satisfaction
  4. Graduation Rate

The Graduate Outcome and Employer Satisfaction (GOES) Survey is used to inform the first three KPIs. This survey, completed six months after graduation online or by phone, is administered by Forum Research, a firm contracted by MCU, to graduates from all twenty-four colleges in Ontario. The Graduation Rate is calculated by MCU based on data submitted by the colleges on an annual basis. All KPIs are based on data from domestic graduates.
