      History

      The Applied Arts and Technology Branch of the Ontario Department of Education had formerly been known as the Technical and Trades Training Branch (1963-1966). The change of name to the Applied Arts and Technology Branch in 1966 represented the fact that the former Ontario Vocational Centres and Institutes of Technology had been replaced by the Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology, which had been first created in 1965. In 1971, the Branch was transferred to the Ontario Department of University Affairs, which was then renamed the Ontario Department (later Ministry) of Colleges and Universities. In 1973, the Branch was renamed College Affairs Branch.
