History
The Program Resources Branch was established in 1975 within the College Affairs and Manpower Training Division of the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities, assuming some of the functions of the College Affairs Branch and the former Manpower Training Branch.
The Branch was originally comprised of Business, Applied Arts, Social Services and Health Programs Section, Technical Program Section, Examination Development Section, and Program Consultants. Another section, Program Review and Evaluation, was added in 1977, and an Employer Sponsored Training section was established in 1978.
The Branch was disbanded in 1979 and its responsibilities divided between the College Affairs Branch, a re-established Manpower Training Branch, and the newly created Apprenticeship Branch.
