Mohawk College announced this morning it’s intention to expand operations over the next several years and build campuses in Burlington.
The Hamilton-based college formalized a letter of understanding with the City of Burlington and Burlington Economic Development to establish new learning hubs and campuses.
The expansion is planned to develop over several years with different programs being offered at different hubs and locations.
Mohawk College President Paul Armstrong said in a media release, “we are excited to extend the college’s world-class post-secondary training into Burlington.”
A satellite campus was established at the village of Tansley Woods in 2023 which offered personal support worker, practical nursing and occupational therapy assistant and physiotherapy assistant programs.
Burlington city council says it acknowledges how attractive a post-secondary institution would be for the overall health of the city.
Mayor Marianne Meed Ward said, “We’re partnering with Mohawk College to ensure our future is as bright, innovative, and as forward-looking as our community.”
