The aim of this dissertation was to compare Canadian community colleges with post-secondary vocational schools in Poland. The comparison concentrated upon programs in nursing, tourism and information technology delivered by the following three Polish schools Krakowska Szkola Medyczna, (Cracow, Poland), Policealne Studium Zawodowe, (Cracow, Poland), Cracow School of Information Technology and four Canadian community colleges Red Deer, (Red Deer, Alberta) Centennial (Scarborough, Ontario), Durham (Oshawa, Ontario) and Confederation (Thunder Bay, Ontario). Two research approaches were used in this study: qualitative and quantitative mixed research methodologies. Moreover, the theoretical framework was supplied by the general notion of the school as an organization and social institution. The results of our investigation indicated that Canadian community colleges are more able to meet labor market requirements than post-secondary vocational schools and that community college students have a higher perception of their programs than their Polish counterparts. It is recommended that additional research be carried out in the future involving a larger number of institutions. Appended are: (1) Glossary of Terms; (2) List of Community Colleges by Province and Territory; (3) Interview Guide; (4) Program Evaluation Form (English Version); (5) Program Evaluation Form (Polish Version); (6) Information Sheet; (7) School Diploma; (8) Poster; (9) School Diplomas; (10) Student Feedback Questionnaire (Confederation College); (11) Coded Responses; and (12) Additional Figures.
