Business Profile

Established November 17, 1989, as a not for profit organization, the Halton Industry Education Council (HIEC) is a joint venture between industry, education and community partners in the Halton Region. Our goal is simple: to enhance career education and create the best opportunities for youth.

Today, HIEC offers a range of programs representing the combined continuum of education, training, the workforce and management which begins in senior elementary and continues through secondary school, into workforce development and creates a culture of mentorship in Halton.

 

Community Profile

The Halton Industry Education Council facilitates communication and partnership among employers, educators, students, and their parents for their mutual benefit. In partnership with the Halton Catholic District School Board and the Halton District School Board, Sheridan College and local businesses, HIEC assists with the development and implementation of community based educational initiatives.

HIEC's events, programs, and services are successful and effective because of the participation of the many stake holders in the community who care about the education of our students. They are the future workforce for many small and large businesses throughout Halton.
