College's Innovative Approach Makes it One of Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies

EDMONTON, Alberta - Aug. 5, 2014 - PRLog -- Edmonton, AB The rapidly changing employment landscape is pushing not only job seekers, but those involved in the training of future workers to change their approaches dramatically.  But while some education centres are floundering in their attempts, MaKami College’s approach has been right on the ball, landing it amongst PROFIT Magazine’s 2014 list of fastest-growing companies.

Coming in at #62 on a list of 500, MaKami College has been lauded for its ability to adapt to the new demands of today’s workforce, and the institution has gained a great deal of traction since it first opened in 2001. As the only licensed Massage Therapy College in Alberta currently offering a 3,000 hour Advanced Clinical Massage Therapy program, not only has the institution recognized the growing market for its graduates, but its innovative approaches to both learning and instruction have garnered it accolades from both employers and students.

“Our training goes far above the standards set out by the practice, and that’s because we want our students to leave not only with the practical skills necessary for massage, but also for cultivating successful business relationships,” says Marija Pavkovic, CEO of the college. “The recognition from PROFIT is a real testament to the commitment of our team to serve the needs of the market and our students.”

MaKami College has long been a first adopter of educational technologies in the classroom, providing each student with the latest iPad pre-loaded with all courses, interactive programs, and translation services for ESL students. They've also placed significant emphasis on providing students with business training. The program has yielded both a high employment rate for graduates, and the number of students who have gone into successful business for themselves.
