Balanced Scorecard

When your mission is to improve Nova Scotia’s economy and quality of life, it's important to set a clear and direct course for the future, chart your progress and mark your milestones.

That's where NSCC's Balanced Scorecard comes in. It quantifies the College's success in pursuit of that mission with measurable results.

We think the remarkable stories you'll read within this Report to the Community are powerful examples of that success. For those who like to crunch the numbers, the Balanced Scorecard provides those proof-points, too.

These facts and figures measure NSCC's financial accountability, provincial impact, learning processes and organizational learning and growth.
