The Canadian Education Network (CEN) was established in 1994 with the support of the Canadian Ministry of Industry. Its main mandate is to assist international students in their search for higher education in Canada. Through its close relationships with institutions across the country, CEN has extensive knowledge of the many options available to international students. CEN will assess the student's individual needs and facilitate the application process to the appropriate academic programs. Students can be assured that no matter what their level of education is, there is an institution that meets their needs
Canadian Education and Training Accreditation Commission
The Canadian Education and Training Accreditation Commission (CETAC) enables private career colleges to demonstrate the high level of quality of their institution, programs and services. To be eligible for CETAC accreditation, private colleges must be duly registered and in good standing with the appropriate Provincial or Territorial government agency which regulates private training. Accreditation in CETAC involves completion of Self-Evaluation Responses, on-site reviews by CETAC Reviewers, often accompanied by Government officials, surveys of students, former students, instructors and administrative staff. Once full accreditation is achieved, Annual Reviews are carried out to ensure the college continues to meet the CETAC standards.
Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials
The Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials (CICIC), a unit of the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (CMEC), acts as a national clearing house and referral service to support the recognition and portability of Canadian and international educational and occupational qualifications. http://www.cicic.ca/ CICIC's Directory of Universities, Colleges and Schools in the Provinces and Territories of Canada (http://www.cicic.ca/664/directory-of-universities-colleges-and-schools-in-canada.canada) includes all career colleges and vocational / technical schools that are registered or licensed, under provincial or territorial legislation, to offer private occupational and vocational training programs.
NACC and Lyreco Office Products have signed an agreement which will benefit NACC, member colleges, and Lyreco Office Products. Lyreco will offer special discounts on office supplies to NACC members and as the participation level increases, so will the discounts. We continue to strive to provide the services you expect from a national association. So please take a look at the information package when it arrives at your college.

Virtual Trade Show
Industry Canada
MARKET YOUR EDUCATION AND TRAINING SERVICES ON LINE REGISTER YOUR INSTITUTION WITH TEAM CANADA`S VIRTUAL TRADE SHOW
The Virtual Trade Show (VTS) is an innovative application of an old concept. Using leading edge on-line technology, the VTS simulates the various components of a real trade show
- exhibition hall
- registration kiosk
- conference room
- networking lounge
- media centre
- info booth
This is all accessible at the click of a mouse !
The VTS was originally developed in 1998 by Industry Canada to showcase Canadian companies in the e-commerce field to an international audience. Team Canada Inc. has recently assumed responsibility for the VTS to help Canadian companies and institutions promote themselves in the growing global marketplace. Virtual Trade Shows have been launched in a few select sectors, including education and training. A pilot project was organized in conjunction with the Team Canada mission to Japan in September 1999, which included a seminar dealing with "Education and Technology". The purpose of this trade show was to promote Canadian capabilities in the delivery of education and training services, and to share the content of the seminar presentations. This pilot was very well received. The site is now being expanded, with a view to showcasing Canadian capabilities at international events. To date, there are 120 education and training suppliers registered, including 21 private career colleges. It is to be noted that registration is free of charge.
NACC member institutions are encouraged to register, as the advantages of a Virtual Trade Show are numerous. It offers a cost-effective way for career colleges to promote their products and services to potential purchasers and partners around the world. It will be widely used by Industry Canada and the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade to promote Canadian capabilities overseas. The convenience for the trade show visitor is also greatly improved. The VTS is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and can be revisited as often as the visitor chooses. It provides visitors an opportunity to discover not only what services are available, but to
interact with institutions by e-mail to request further information. The Virtual Trade Show is clearly a cost-effective way to do business in the global economy.

Industrie Canada a élaboré la Foire commerciale virtuelle en 1998 afin de présenter sur la scène internationale des entreprises canadiennes oeuvrant dans le domaine du commerce électronique. Équipe Canada Inc. a récemment assumé la responsabilité de l'organisation de la FCV afin d'aider les entreprises et les institutions canadiennes à réaliser leur propre promotion sur le marché mondial en croissance. Des Foires commerciales virtuelles ont été lancées dans certains secteurs choisis, y compris l'éducation et la formation.
Un projet-pilote était organisé conjointement avec la mission d'Équipe Canada au Japon en septembre 1999, ce qui a compris un colloque au sujet de " L'Éducation et la technologie". L'objet de cette foire commerciale était la promotion de la capacité canadienne dans la prestation des services d'éducation et de formation, ainsi que la dissemination des présentations données au cours du Colloque. Ce projet-pilote était très bien reçu. On est en train d'élargir le site, cela pour mettre en vedette la capacité canadienne aux événements internationaux comme le Marché mondial de l'éducation, de la formation. À cette époque, sont inscrits 120 fournisseurs de services d'éducation et de formation, y compris 21 collèges d'enseignement professionnel. Il est à noter qu'il n'y a pas de frais d'inscription.
Les institutions membres de l'ANCC sont encouragées à s'inscrire, étant donné que les avantages d'une foire commerciale virtuelle sont nombreux. Elle offre aux collèges un moyen rentable de promouvoir leurs produits et leurs services à des acheteurs et des partenaires éventuels partout dans le monde. Industrie Canada et le Ministère des Affaires étrangères et du Commerce international ont l'intention d'utiliser la FCV dans la promotion de la capacité canadienne sur la scène internationale. Le visiteur de la FCV bénéficie, lui aussi, de nouveaux avantages: la FVC est ouverte 24 heures sur 24, sept jours par semaine, et le visiteur peut y revenir aussi souvent qu'il veut. Il a l'occasion non seulement de découvrir les produits et services offerts mais aussi de traiter immédiatement avec les institutions par courriel afin d'obtenir de plus amples renseignements. La Foire commerciale virtuelle est clairement une méthode rentable de faire des affaires dans l'économie mondiale.
