ACKNOWLEDGEMENT 

Centennial College is proud to be a part of a rich history of education 

in this province and in this city. We acknowledge that we are on the 

treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation 

and pay tribute to their legacy and the legacy of all First Peoples of 

Canada, as we strengthen ties with the communities we serve and 

build the future through learning and through our graduates. 

Today, the traditional meeting place of Toronto is still home to many 

Indigenous People from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to 

have the opportunity to work in the communities that have grown in 

the treaty lands of the Mississaugas. We acknowledge that we are all 

treaty people and accept our responsibility to honour all our relations.

Centennial is the college of choice for students from 

all over the world, with an international reputation as 

one of Canada’s top research colleges, top-tier 

institutional ratings for academic quality, and 

outstanding rankings in student satisfaction. 

Our community proudly celebrates our values of 

inclusion, respect, and social justice. As global 

citizens, future leaders, and change-makers, 

Centennial students prepare for a global economy. 

TORONTO, CANADA 

We pride ourselves on our outstanding academic 

quality, and that’s true whether your learning 

happens in a digital lab or classroom, or on campus. 

You will get to know and engage with your professors 

and fellow students in virtual environments that will 

foster connectedness and a learning community. 

Prepare to be challenged, to learn, to grow, and to 

be supported in your learning every step of the way. 

While deciding to pursue an education abroad, of course, 

the most important criteria for me were the quality of 

education, affordability, and the opportunity to find a job 

after graduation. 

For these reasons, Centennial College was always in the 

top three in my options. Well, I can say that all my 

expectations have been met so far. The College is 

modern and well designed. The professors have great 

experience in their fields and support their lessons with 

many samples from the real world, which helps me to be 

ready for the Canadian working environment. Also, 

diversity in our classes helped me to see how solutions 

and creative ideas might be different across cultures.

SUCCESS

STORY 

Alumnus Davis Fernandes 

launched a marketing career with 

help from networking opportunities 

After completing an accounting and finance degree, it didn’t 

take long for Davis Fernandes to realize his passion was 

elsewhere. What truly fascinated Davis was writing. Combining 

his knack for words with an interest in understanding consumer 

behaviour led the India native to two college programs at 

Centennial: Marketing Management and Marketing – Digital 

Engagement Strategy. 

connect him to his future boss and play a role in his current 

career. Because Centennial College’s Marketing programs, and 

other offerings, employ professors and instructors who are still 

active in their fields, in-class sessions often see professional 

guest speakers impart knowledge on learners. Students, in 

turn, have the unique opportunity to interact with these experts 

in an intimate setting. 

“Centennial turned out to be the perfect mediator between 

myself and my career prospects,” says Davis. “I got to meet 

many professionals and instructors who still work in the field 

while I got a solid education. I also found the professors to be 

accessible and always willing to help you out.” 

In fact, during the research phase of choosing an institution 

for his marketing education, Davis spoke to his local career 

counsellors who specifically mentioned Centennial for its 

well-known and strong connection to industry and networking 

opportunities. Employing strategy, he narrowed his search 

to three Ontario colleges. It was the networking aspect that 

convinced Davis to choose Centennial College for his graduate 

certificate education. 

“Networking was the most important factor for me because 

I knew it would be very helpful in getting a job,” he says. 

“That’s why it’s important to research and really narrow down 

the benefits you’ll get from a college program and a school.” 

What Davis had no way of knowing at the time was that one 

of his marketing and digital marketing classes would directly 

DAVIS SAYS... 

“I initially got to speak with the CEO of the company where 

I currently work when he was a guest speaker in one of my 

classes,” says Davis, who graduated from Digital Engagement 

Strategy in 2019 and was almost immediately hired as an 

advertising operations specialist by advertience, a digital 

marketing consultancy that delivers digital marketing services 

in media, creative and analytics. “I went back home to India 

in July 2019, and when I came back to Toronto, one of my 

instructors, who also works at advertience, saw that I was 

looking for a job and asked if I wanted to come in for an 

interview.” 

While Davis ended up concentrating on digital marketing, he 

says taking both the Marketing Management and the Marketing 

– Digital Engagement Strategy programs served distinct but 

equally important purposes. The former, he says, created a 

solid foundation and offered an overview of the entire marketing 

sector. The latter helped him to specialize his strategy skills and 

knowledge. Both programs, he says, are interactive and offer 

multiple opportunities to work with real clients. 

“The client for my capstone project in Digital Engagement Strategy was Virgin 

Mobile. We also worked with other commercial companies on social media 

marketing. So, it was really hands-on and we got an idea of what we could 

expect from the field. I’m still using the skills I learned in the programs.”

SUCCESS 

STORY 

Alumnus Kyle Barnes 

Excels in a Career Protecting 

the Environment 

As a child, Kyle Barnes loved learning about nature and being outdoors. Earlier than most, he knew that a career 

committed to protecting the environment would be in his future. 

That’s why, when it came time to choose a post-secondary program, Barnes didn’t hesitate: He recognized Centennial’s 

Environmental Technologist program would help him realize his dream. 

“It turned out to be one of the best experiences I’ve ever had,” he says. “The program was very hands-on. We were 

constantly outdoors, collecting samples and doing field work.” 



After graduating in 2016, Barnes secured a role as a client service representative with the Ontario Ministry of the 

Environment — a position that allows him to put the knowledge he gained at Centennial into practice every day. 

“One moment I’ll be speaking with a farmer seeking a permit for pesticide use, and the next I’ll be speaking with a 

lawyer looking for advice on environmental regulations,” he says. “The courses I took at Centennial directly equipped 

me to succeed in this role.” 

As he looks ahead to what’s next, Barnes has his sights set on becoming an environmental officer — the “boots on the 

ground” workers who are out in the field enforcing environmental regulations and bylaws. Every step of the way, he 

credits Centennial with turning his dreams into reality. “Centennial has allowed me to do what I’ve always loved,” 

he says. “Being able to match my childhood passion with my career has been amazing.” 

KYLE’S ADVICE TO NEW STUDENTS... 

"When you’re looking for a job in your field, have the tenacity and the courage 

to really put yourself out there. Just go for it."

they have to work on ... I just love anything with an engine, 

and this is the fun side of things. We get all the toys.”

Heavy Duty Equipment Technician 8215 




From bulldozers to tractors and forklifts, heavy duty equipment is big business — and it needs 

professionals who understand applied mechanics, vehicle dynamics, and component design and 

repair. That is where the Heavy Duty Equipment Technician program, with its curriculum rooted in 

apprenticeship standards, comes in. Aside from learning core subjects using real-world training aids 

for hands-on experience, attend exclusive courses such as hoisting and rigging as well as business, 

English, and general education courses. The well-rounded approach gives you an advantage 

that allows you to go further faster. A four-month co-op option offers real-world experience as a 

paid employee in this field. You graduate with levels 1 and 2 in-school apprenticeship training 

requirements.

Motive Power Technician 

“It’s actually a very nice shop there, it’s really well-equipped. They have a bunch 

of bikes that manufacturers have donated to the college that are not for road 

use, they’re for learning*purposes. 

You can rip apart motors and suspensions and all sorts of things on 

motorcycles to gain a greater understanding of how these things work. We have 

to put them all back together, and they have to function.”
