Mohawk College was established during the formation of Ontario’s college system in 1966. The school was founded in 1967 as part of a provincial initiative to create many such institutions to provide career-oriented diploma and certificate courses, as well as continuing education programs to Ontario communities.
Mohawk has received three national Yves Landry Foundation awards. The Mohawk and McMaster University Bachelor of Technology Partnership was recognized with the Yves Landry 2006 Innovative Manufacturing Technology Program Award: University Level. Yves Landry Awards were also presented to Mohawk’s Modern Foundry Technologies Institute in 2001 and Integrated Technician Apprenticeship Program in 2004.
Colleges Ontario recognized The Hydro One–College Consortium with the 2008 Community/Corporate Partnership Award. For the first time in Ontario, four community colleges (Mohawk, Algonquin, Georgian and Northern Colleges) are working collaboratively with a provincial employer on an innovative and proactive workforce training and development solution to replace the 30% of Hydro One's highly skilled workforce who will retire within the next 5 years.
