About Contact North

All Contact North services are FREE and offered in English and French.

Contact North helps people living in Ontario, especially those in small, rural, northern, and remote areas, access the online education and training they need to get or retain a job, earn a promotion, or advance their career without having to leave their communities.

To accomplish this, we:

  1. Provide direct, one-on-one, local support to help people living in Ontario find and register in online programs and courses at the basic skills, secondary and post-secondary levels that meet their needs and interests. Support services to help learners succeed in their online education or training include:
  2. Help Ontario education and training providers recruit students for their online programs and courses, provide technology platforms to deliver their programs and courses, and share resources and best practices for their faculty and instructors who teach online.
 
  1. Develop and test new technologies that support education and training and share them with students, faculty, instructors, and other teaching and training professionals in Ontario, across Canada, and around the world.
