In the Workplace
We believe every student attending our school deserves the opportunity to enter the next phase of their life with confidence, excitement and optimism.
One of our strategic priorities is to ensure a high performing, effective workforce and quality work environment. We support our faculty and staff to provide the education and services our students deserve.
Accommodation in the Workplace
While our goal is to provide an accessible and inclusive workplace by eliminating barriers in all our employment policies, procedures, and practices, individual accommodations may be required in order for employment goals to be fully realized.
Whether you require an accommodation as a new employee with a disability, an employee with a newly acquired or temporary disability, or are returning to work following illness or injury, we want to ensure you have the support that you need.

Employment Equity
Mohawk College is committed to principles of equity and diversity in the workplace. Employment equity is a principle at the core of Mohawk's overall mandate as a community leader and an institution of higher learning. The College is committed to promoting employment equity, ensuring equal opportunity and equitable representation in employment.
To achieve our employment equity goals we must acknowledge and eliminate direct, indirect and systemic discrimination in our employment policies, procedures and practices. This is consistent with the goals and approach to making the College accessible for persons with disabilities. The two initiatives go hand in hand towards making our workplace inclusive. Find out more about Mohawk's employment equity policy and program.

Student Success at Mohawk
Student success depends on many things. To succeed, students need excellent academic programs and dedicated faculty, superior student-focused services, and places, spaces and technology that support learning. But there are also four key factors — or drivers— that determine whether or not a student will succeed, and we need strategies that address these key drivers directly. Staff can access the Student Success Guide via MyMohawk.
