About Us
The
same philosophy of personal attention that distinguishes Yorkville Education Company as a leading provider of post-secondary education makes
us an exceptional place to work. We are a progressive and modern institution, responding to the needs of current and future students and
implementing the best technology solutions to empower our work. We prioritize diversity, open doors to those often overlooked, welcome new
Canadians, and provide pathways to successful careers.
Yorkville Education Company (which manages both Yorkville University and
the Toronto Film School) began with a simple idea in 2004: offer flexible, rigorous, and career-focused degrees on campus and online to
people who are on a purposeful path. With campuses in Ontario, British Columbia and New Brunswick, we equip our graduates with the
professional knowledge, skills and designations that employers value.
Focused on providing a transformative, accessible and
flexible higher education environment, our teams, from the President to the newest staff member, share a passion for learning, teaching, and
growing as individuals and as teams. We nurture an inclusive, supportive, and genuinely kind work environment at our three campus
locations.

post-secondary education landscape, and work collaboratively beyond levels, join us.
