Fleming College has selected InPlace Software to manage student placements across its School of Health and Community Services, a deployment that will support more than 27 programs, multiple delivery models, and up to 1,300 students in placement at any given time. The college will begin its rollout in Fall 2026, starting with its largest nursing and community services programs.
Fleming’s School of Health and Community Services prepares students for careers built on practical experience, with every program rooted in extensive hands-on training across classrooms, dedicated labs, simulation spaces, clinics, and clinical or field placements. Coordinating that volume of practical learning, across full-time and part-time cohorts, multiple intakes per year, and hundreds of partner sites, requires a placement platform that can scale alongside Fleming’s projected growth.
InPlace will first go live with Fleming’s largest health and community services programs, including Practical Nursing, Personal Support Worker, Mental Health and Addiction Worker, Early Childhood Education, and Developmental Service Worker. Additional programs will follow as the rollout progresses.
“Partnering with InPlace is an important step in modernizing how we support experiential learning and student placements across Fleming College,” said Kevin Griffin, Dean, School of Health & Community Services, Fleming College. “By moving to a more integrated placement management system, we will reduce manual processes, improve communication and visibility for students, staff and community partners, and strengthen our ability to coordinate placements at scale. Most importantly, this will help create a more seamless and supportive experience for students as they gain the hands-on experience, practical skills and community connections that prepare them for future careers.”
For nursing programs, Fleming College will use InPlace alongside existing provincially mandated clinical placement workflows — managing competency tracking and evaluations, while using InPlace to request and match students to placement sites not currently covered by existing systems.
“Fleming College is exactly the kind of institution InPlace is built for,” said Aaron White, General Manager of InPlace North America. “They’re managing clinical placements across four campuses and some of Ontario’s highest-demand programs – Practical Nursing, PSW, ECE, Social Service Worker, Developmental Service Worker, and Mental Health and Addictions. That’s real operational complexity, and we’re rolling out in phases to bring it all into one platform. We’re proud to be working with and supporting the Fleming team.”
Fleming’s deployment reflects a broader shift across Ontario’s college sector, as institutions look to replace fragmented spreadsheets and disconnected systems with a single source of truth for placement coordination. With multiple intakes per year, rolling cohorts, mandatory practicum hours, pre-placement compliance requirements, and a growing network of community and clinical partner agencies, programs like Practical Nursing, PSW, ECE, and the community services disciplines share the same coordination challenges — and benefit from the same centralized approach.
