A Co-Management Team consisting of college presidents, school board directors, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities personnel manages SCWI and will be working with all district school boards and all colleges in 2011-12  through 16 Regional Planning Teams, across the province.

For fifteen years, the School College Work Initiative has continued to bring college and school board staff together to develop forums, activities and dual credit programs that facilitate the transition to postsecondary learning for thousands of Ontario students.

There has been steady growth in dual credit programs since 2006-07 when dual credit programs involving 65 boards and 24 colleges provided expanded learning opportunities for 2,500 students.

In 2009-10, 7500 students were provided with expanded learning opportunities through 300 approved Dual Credit programs.  Approximately 1400 students participated in “School Within a College” programs involving 14 colleges and 26 boards. Sixteen Regional Planning Teams received SCWI approval for 280 activities and 118 regional forums. 

In 2010-11, 12,000 students were provided with expanded learning opportunities through 381 approved Dual Credit programs.  Approximately 1500 students participated in “School Within a College” programs involving 21 colleges and 35 boards. Sixteen Regional Planning Teams received SCWI approval for 236 activities and 116 regional forums.

In 2011-12, SCWI is funding 450 dual credit programs, involving all 70 district school boards with secondary schools, all 24 colleges of applied arts and technology and approximately 15,000 secondary school students.

SCWI initiatives continue to ensure that students who are facing challenges in graduating will have greater access to more choice, with flexible options for customizing their learning to their individual interests, strengths and needs. It is anticipated that students will continue to engage and re-engage in learning and achieve their secondary school diploma as a result of such opportunities.
