Connect them to industry before they graduate. It's as simple as that. The reason we're so successful keeping students is that they come to Canada with no Canadian experience, no Canadian connections, and they enter into a strong academic program. If they graduate without building the industry connections in Canada, why not go to the United States? Why not return back to the country they come from? If they get the industry experience and the industry connections, then they'll be offered a job before they graduate and they'll stay. It's as simple as that. That's why we're successful.
