Frameworks that mold a better future
Canada’s education sector is adapting to meet the changing needs of students. Shifting to online learning has expanded the reach of international students and accelerated the need for new technologies, processes, and additional revenue sources. As a result, institutions are navigating a complex landscape as they form partnerships with outside institutions to diversify revenue streams, employ new processes, and invest significantly in their IT infrastructure.
At BDO, we use holistic business practices that consider the end-to-end operation and delivery of education services to help your institutions adapt to the expectations of the modern student. Our team can assist with strategic direction setting and market positioning, digital investment strategy, cybersecurity, and risk management.
