About Us
In July of 2017, Education Consolidation Corporation officially became Education Canada Group. With this evolution also came a new vision for the future. In recognizing the new challenges and opportunities available in the private
education sector, we set out to redefine the purpose, vision, and values of our company.
Our vision is to build on our core values and continue to focus on academic achievement and professional excellence. We aim to take this company’s success to a new level, and in doing so, provide more opportunities for growth for current
and future team members of ECG, and most importantly, for our online and on-campus students. Our students and graduates will excel in their chosen fields and contribute value to the workforce.
ECG through Robertson College has better graduation and employment rate success than most private colleges, which is a constant issue for all private colleges – this presents an opportunity for ECG to get government and regulator approvals
to assist efforts to expand in other areas.
ECG has a first mover advantage among private colleges in online courses. ECG has a solid platform, developed in technology and processes for admissions, recruitment, marketing and training, to build from.
