About Us

The Manitoba Association of Career Colleges is a volunteer organization of Private Vocational Institutions. Our role is to act as a voice for the Private School operators at the Provincial and National level.

The organization has been actively addressing issues that affect school operators within the province of Manitoba. Through membership meetings our members provide our elected board with the direction to be taken on issues.

Our organization meets with Government Agencies and Departments as needed to discuss the issues affecting private institutions. Together we work to assure that the collective views of Private schools are presented.

The MACC is dedicated to promoting the positive side to Private Education. Through period promotional opportunities and articles we educate the public on the benefits of choosing a Private Institution for their education. These along with information provided on our website can help you gain students and expand the public awareness of our member schools.
