Colleges in Toronto Offer Exciting Educational
Opportunities
Toronto is Canada's largest and most populous city. As such, it offers numerous
opportunities for post-secondary students that they may not be allotted elsewhere. For
example, students who attend post-secondary education in Toronto have a range of options
when it comes to completing a field placement — which is a staple of many college offerings.
Toronto is the hub for many professions and, therefore, students may snag a placement with
a respected and well-known company within their chosen profession. Secondly, Toronto
allows for various volunteer opportunities thanks to all of the events taking place within it.
For example, those who attend an event planning offering can expect to volunteer at events
like the MuchMusic Music Video Awards while those who attend a health promotion
program can gain volunteer experience at events such as the various charity runs and bike
rides that take place in the city.
One of the most respected colleges in Toronto is also its oldest. Centennial College
opened its doors in 1966 and has since then established itself as an institution that has
forged relationships with the community and prepares its students with the theoretical
background employers look for and the practical experience to confidently enter their
chosen field. This is achieved through both in and out of classroom support.
This college sees enrollment rates of 16,000 full-time students and 22,000 part-time
learners. Students who attend this school can choose from 100 full-time programs, 140
part-time programs as well as courses presented via Distance Learning (an off-shoot of
the School of Continuing Education), which entails learning through online classes or Print-
Based Correspondence. Programs are offered in areas such as: Business, Community and
Health Studies, Technology and Applied Science, Hospitality Tourism and Culture as well as
Communications, Media and Design.
Professors and instructors who have extensive experience in the field for which they are
preparing students teach the classes. As such, students are learning from professionals who
go beyond textbook teaching to draw on their own experiences to stress certain points or
offer students advice. Additionally, these professionals have relationships in the field that
allow them to refer students to their colleagues for possible jobs upon graduation.
Outside of their classes, students can seek help from a range of students services among
which are: Aboriginal Education Services, Academic Advising, Centre for Academic English,
Centre for Students with Disabilities, Counselling, First Year Experience, Libraries, Peer

Tutoring and Student Relations Office. These services provide safe places for students to
voice concerns, obtain extra help to ensure they are excelling in their classes and more. The
people running these programs have experience in dealing with students from all walks of
life and are sensitive to a range of beliefs, cultures and needs.
