The National Academy of Health & Business, a leading registered career college for 32 years, is giving away a full scholarship to celebrate its return to the city of Hamilton after 12 years. The winner will have the option to choose which campus to attend: Hamilton (located at 31 King St. E) or Mississauga (located at 165 Dundas St. W.).
The college was first registered in 1979 in Hamilton and moved its campus to Mississauga in 1999. Following a twelve year absence, the college decided to return to its roots by opening a second campus in Hamilton’s city centre. The current President, Mark Harrington, said: “We are very excited to be re-opening a new campus in Hamilton. Despite a difficult economic landscape over the past several years, the city remains rich in history and full of pride. It offers tremendous potential to current residents and we look forward to contributing to the city’s future success as a business, employer and, most importantly, as a provider of quality education. We believe our areas of expertise: Healthcare, Business and Law, perfectly complement the City’s future job opportunities; particularly Healthcare, which is expected to continue to grow as an industry in Hamilton”.
The college’s Mississauga campus achieved one of the lowest OSAP repayment default rates in Ontario (suggesting its graduates have become better off financially) and expects to leverage its success in Hamilton.
