Our People

Our employees are the foundation of Durham College. Together, they are committed to providing innovative learning experiences, supportive services and delivering programs that foster the welcoming, inclusive, and dynamic environment DC is known for.

Our tradition of excellence and commitment to employee feedback, diversity and inclusion and family-friendly policies was recognized when we were named one of Greater Toronto’s Top Employers for an incredible 12th time.

Our People Quote

One of the greatest things about Durham College is the faculty, and I’ve been so lucky to have met Shane Jones, who has been a teacher of mine and also a mentor. He has taught me so much, and it’s been incredible working with and learning from him.

– Abigayle Hamilton, Horticulture Technician

One focus for the college this year was ensuring that employees have the opportunity to engage and participate in conversations that inform meaningful change at DC to help build our community and underscore our role as ambassadors. To that end, several initiatives gave the members of our campus community a chance to share their perspectives and contribute to our ongoing growth and success, including the Employee Pulse Survey, Employee Think Tank and Dialogue with Don. In addition, we also launched Innovate@DC, a new idea management platform that supports college-wide collaboration and idea sharing.

We administered our second self-ID survey to employees and students and published the results of our first survey, conducted last year. The results provide an opportunity to reflect on and improve DC’s current processes and policies and drive data-informed decision-making to help move the college beyond equity and inclusion to belonging.

DC continued to provide opportunities, strategies and tools through professional development and wellness programs to support employees’ success. Offerings included a health and nutrition series, a mindfulness series, leadership and management sessions and more.
