About our partnership
Last September, Mohawk College, in partnership with triOS College, officially opened a new, stateof-the-art campus in the heart of Mississauga. The new campus was a major milestone in a partnership that began in 2021.
Easily accessible in the heart of Mississauga, the campus offers International students the opportunity to earn a Mohawk College credential in fields such as Business, Technology, Early Childhood Education and Supply Chain Management while remaining in the Greater Toronto Area. Graduates are also eligible for post-graduate work permits allowing them to remain in Canada following their studies.
“The Mohawk College Mississauga Campus allows us to more quickly expand our programs and serve more students at a time when the community, and the province, has an acute need for a trained workforce,” said Mohawk
College President and CEO Ron J. McKerlie. “We are looking forward to growing together with triOS College so that more and more people can attain a well-earned and well-respected Mohawk College credential.”
“The opening of this campus in partnership with Mohawk College represents a great opportunity for international students studying in the heart of Mississauga”, said triOS College CEO Frank Gerencser. “Students are able to leverage the high-quality, hands-on education that triOS is known for and graduate job-ready for careers in Business, Technology, and Supply Chain Management.”
Mohawk’s partnership with triOS was established through a Binding Policy Directive from the Ontario government in December 2019, which allows for contractual arrangements between public colleges and private colleges.

Today, Mohawk College proudly delivers a quality education and college experience to over 30,000 full-time, part-time, continuing education and apprenticeship students.
