Thunder Bay, ON, September 28, 2023 --  Confederation College is hosting the College Information Program (CIP) Tour on October 4. This event brings together Ontario colleges, providing prospective students with a unique opportunity to explore a wide range of college programs, all under one roof.

The CIP Tour aims to eliminate the need for students to travel out of town to meet with colleges across the province. Each college will have displays and booths, offering valuable information on their programs and the application process. This year's tour promises to be an exciting and informative event for all attendees. Prospective students are encouraged to attend and take advantage of this unique platform to gain insights into the diverse range of educational opportunities available.

Alexandra Jones, Manager of Recruitment, Marketing, and Communications at Confederation College, expressed her enthusiasm for the upcoming event, stating, "We are looking forward to hosting this important event. It's an incredible opportunity for students to discover the diverse programs offered by colleges across Ontario, all in one convenient location. Attending this event saves students and their families the hassle of travelling long distances to meet with far-away colleges."

The public is invited to attend the CIP Tour stop at Confederation College on October 4 from 6:00 – 8:00pm in the Shuniah Building. This event will open doors to countless opportunities and provide valuable insights into the world of college education.
