LAND 

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.

I have seen graduates from Centennial excelling in the 

marketing and advertising workplace, and stand fiercely 

proud of having played a small part in their career 

progression. Not only is this a testament to the superior 

talent at Centennial teaching and mentoring these young 

stars, but the program curriculum and course material 

that are equally as fantastic. 

Dave Nourse 

Executive Vice President, Client Success 

Art and Science Digital Experience Design 

As a proud alumnus and Program Advisory Committee 

member of the School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary 

Arts, I have connected with caring and dedicated faculty 

who are truly invested in student success. Any students 

who complete an apprenticeship or placement at the 

Club are skillful, knowledgeable, and well prepared for

I have been in the business for over 25 years and had many 

great mentors throughout my tenure. Being part of the 

Program Advisory Committee gives me the opportunity to 

give back and guide the next generation of media 

professionals. I chose Centennial College as I have always 

heard amazing success stories about its graduates. In

interactive lectures and practical 

lab work. Many of these programs 

also offer an optional co-operative

the practical skills to apply this 

understanding in the real world.

sectors. 

CO-OP PROGRAMS 

By embedding work-related 

experience into your program 

schedule, co-op can help you 

to decide what kind of career 

you want, help you to pay for your 

education, and increase your 

chances of quickly establishing 

a successful career when 

you graduate. 

GRADUATE CERTIFICATES

graduates, these programs build 

on the knowledge and experience 

gained through previous 

post-secondary studies. They

SUCCESS 

BUSINESS 

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.”

STORY 

Alumnus Adekunle Olorundare 

Creates Music with No Boundaries 



Adekunle Olorundare, or Kunle as he’s known to family, 

friends and fans, sits in his downtown Toronto apartment 

surrounded by instruments and recording equipment. His 

living space is dominated by evidence of music making, 

an outward expression of his love of songs and sounds. 

“I find music in everything,” he says. “I’ll be releasing a 

song soon where the percussion is actually me tapping 

on the kitchen table.” 

It was Kunle’s desire to make a career out of creating 

music that brought him to Canada in 2014, specifically to 

attend Centennial’s Music Industry Arts and Performance 

program. Realizing that he’d need to learn the business 

language of music to be successful as a working artist, 

he chose Centennial’s program because it offered 

an ideal balance between creative development and 

practical industry knowledge. 

“It’s one of the few programs that allows students to 

explore anything and everything,” he says. “You can work 

with all different kinds of genres and instruments, and in 

your third year you can choose to go into either production 

and technology or business. I’m constantly using the skills 

I developed there in new and unexpected ways.” 

Growing up in Nigeria, Kunle absorbed his father’s vast 

musical tastes. “My upbringing was full of music through 

my dad, who has a huge collection of records,” he says. 

“Rock, jazz, pop, folk, country; he listened to everything. 

I remember pretending to have malaria just so I could stay 

home and listen to music.” 

It was that diversity and the opportunity to explore his 

vast musical interests that motivated Kunle to make the 

most of his time at Centennial. “I was really invested in the 

school and was constantly reaching out to the teachers,” 

he says. “When you’re hungry to achieve your goals, you’ll 

put everything into it.” 

His focus has paid off. Since graduating, Kunle has 

become a regular fixture of Toronto’s music scene, playing 

in local venues for audiences with tastes as diverse as the 

music he creates. He’s also toured Europe several times 

and had an opportunity to perform in his dream venue in 

Ghana, backed by a string quartet. His future is looking 

bright. 

But Kunle’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. 

As a newcomer to Canada and a person of colour, he 

has experienced discrimination from some corners of 

the music industry. “As an immigrant, there are so many 

barriers you have to break through,” he says. “And there’s 

a structure in place that’s not super supportive of people 

of colour. It’s unspoken, but it’s there.” 

Kunle’s optimistic outlook and belief in music as a 

uniting force are what keep him moving forward. “There is 

discrimination, but I don’t care,” he says. “Music brings 

people together and there are so many things to be 

grateful for.” As he looks ahead to what’s next, Kunle is 

focused on continuing to break down barriers through his 

music and bring his art to ever broader audiences. 

ADEKUNLE’S ADVICE FOR ASPIRING MUSICIANS... 

“You just have to stay true to yourself and embrace who you are. Work on whatever 

faults you feel you have, but embrace who you are. No one’s going to tell your story 

better than you tell it.”

The demand for health care is expected to grow as the number of seniors in Ontario increases. 

This program — a partnership with Ryerson University and George Brown College — equips you to 

work in numerous nursing roles and environments. Complete your first two years at Centennial and 

the final two years at Ryerson. Curriculum covers five themes, reflected throughout the program 

at varying levels: primary health care/health promotion, reflective practice/critical thinking, 

meaningful relationships/caring/communication, political/social justice, and personal/professional 

development. Nursing labs with highly realistic computerized “patients” are available for practice, 

and you have the opportunity to partake in a large-scale disaster exercise. Your training prepares you 

to go further faster. 

Note: The official Ministry name for this program is Collaborative Nursing.

Additional Requirements 

• In accordance with the policy of the program, the Public Hospitals Act, other legislation, and the 

requirements of the practice placement settings, the Practice Requirements Record must be 

completed in its entirety by a student’s health care provider, and all supporting documents must 

be attached. A Practice Requirements Record form with full instructions can be obtained from the 

Central Placement office website: centennialcollege.ca/collaborative-nursing-degree. 

• Communicable diseases immunization details as specified in the Practice Requirements Record. 

• Vulnerable sector screening – police reference checks are done to protect clientele who are 

considered “vulnerable persons”. A “clear” police check means that there is currently no police 

record found for that individual in the jurisdiction surveyed. A “not clear” police check means that 

there is a police record found for the individual for an undisclosed reason. Students are required to 

keep the original vulnerable sector screening – police reference check. It is the placement agency 

that will make the decision whether or not to accept the student for placement. This agency 

decision may require the student to self-disclose the particulars of the “not clear” police check. 

Students have the right to not disclose the particulars of the “not clear” police check. Students 

denied placement by the agency on the grounds of a “not clear” police check will not be able to 

complete their practice placement and will jeopardize their progress in the program. 

• International students will need to retain the police clearance document that was used to obtain 

their study permit and apply for a local vulnerable sector check. 

• Students who live in the City of Toronto must obtain an application form from the Health Studies 

office, Room 352 at Morningside Campus. For information about the application process, visit 

centennialcollege.ca/community-police-checks. 

• Students are required to be tested, onsite, and fitted for a respiratory mask. Students will then 

carry a card with them that indicates the type and model of mask they have been tested for. 

At time of testing, students must remove facial hair and any clothing covering their face to ensure 

a proper seal. Likewise, in the event that students are required to wear a mask during their 

placement, students must remove facial hair and any clothing that covers their face. To learn 

more, visit centennialcollege.ca/community-clinical-field-placements. 

• Students are required to obtain cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certification. 

Only Healthcare Professional (HCP) level certification will be accepted. 

Notes: 

1. Students who fail to meet the above requirements will not be permitted to begin their nursing practice courses and will be 

subject to academic penalties. 

2. All Nursing students, in order to practice nursing, must be active participants working with, and providing care to, diverse 

populations inclusive of male, female, and transgender individuals. Students who are unable to meet this requirement will 

jeopardize their progress in the program.

SUCCESS 

STORY 

Alumnus Mobeena Hamid 

reshaped her career path 

through the Social Service 

Worker program 

COMMUNITY AND 


Mobeena Hamid remembers when she realized 

the positive impact her Social Service Worker 

training could have. She was completing one of 

the program’s two specialized field placements 

at Centennial College’s Career Services and 

Co-operative Education department when a 

student came in voicing concerns about her 

inability to pay tuition. Using concepts she learned 

in her college courses, Mobeena was able to help 

the client by assisting with an action plan and 

increasing her confidence in finding work. It was 

also one of the many program experiences that 

altered Mobeena’s career trajectory. 

“When I came to the college, I was convinced I 

wanted to work with kids and youth, but I was 

exposed to so much more that opened my eyes 

to how varied the social service work field is,” 

says Mobeena. 

Arriving at Centennial with an Honours Bachelor 

of Arts, Mobeena wanted to use her college 

experience as a bridging point to further education. 

She immediately noticed the differences 

MOBEENA’S ADVICE TO NEW STUDENTS... 

between a university and a college approach to 

education. In Mobeena’s small-sized classes, the 

predominant method of learning was a practical 

application. This, she says, was highly effective 

in truly being able to understand concepts 

and theories. 

Centennial’s Social Service Worker program, 

says Mobeena, also takes common application 

practices a step further. “Rather than just sitting 

down and looking at slides, the activities created 

a lot of class discussion and encouraged active 

critical thinking,” she says. “We weren’t just 

internalizing ideas.” 

With the richness of Centennial’s in-class learning, 

Mobeena says she was able to confidently enter 

the Social Service Worker program’s integrated 

field placements. In fact, she also credits the 

Career Services placement with being hired for a 

contract she recently completed as an employment 

outreach counsellor and the program with helping 

her get accepted into her Master’s program. 

“I would tell new Social Service Worker students to push yourself out of your 

comfort zone, academically and socially. Building meaningful relationships with 

faculty and my peers helps with learning and professional development.”

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."
