Collège Boréal official logo

Collège Boréal is a publicly funded French-language college of applied arts and technology headquartered in Sudbury, Ontario, with a network of campuses and service points spread across roughly two dozen Ontario communities to reach francophone populations outside major urban centres.

It delivers postsecondary diploma and certificate programs together with apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship trades training, continuing education and corporate training, and distance and online programming, with fields spanning health sciences, business, technology, social services, and skilled trades. As a francophone institution, all program instruction is delivered in French.

Notable structures include the Consortium national de formation en santé, which coordinates French-language health-professional training, an innovation and entrepreneurship space known as EIRI that supports incubation and applied research, and a college foundation that funds student awards and initiatives. The college also runs adult upgrading services and dedicated supports for newcomers and school boards, positioning it as both a postsecondary institution and a community-development partner for Ontario's Francophonie.

Collège Boréal suits students who wish to study and train in French, including recent secondary graduates, adult learners upgrading skills, tradespeople pursuing apprenticeships, immigrants and newcomers integrating into the francophone community, and employers in French-serving regions seeking locally trained graduates.
