ACKNOWLEDGEMENT<br />
Centennial College is proud to be a part of a rich history of education<br />
in this province and in this city. We acknowledge that we are on the<br />
treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation<br />
and pay tribute to their legacy and the legacy of all First Peoples of<br />
Canada, as we strengthen ties with the communities we serve and<br />
build the future through learning and through our graduates.<br />
Today, the traditional meeting place of Toronto is still home to many<br />
Indigenous People from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to<br />
have the opportunity to work in the communities that have grown in<br />
the treaty lands of the Mississaugas. We acknowledge that we are all<br />
treaty people and accept our responsibility to honour all our relations.<br />

I have seen graduates from Centennial excelling in the<br />
marketing and advertising workplace, and stand fiercely<br />
proud of having played a small part in their career<br />
progression. Not only is this a testament to the superior<br />
talent at Centennial teaching and mentoring these young<br />
stars, but the program curriculum and course material<br />
that are equally as fantastic.<br />

As a proud alumnus and Program Advisory Committee<br />
member of the School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary<br />
Arts, I have connected with caring and dedicated faculty<br />
who are truly invested in student success. Any students<br />
who complete an apprenticeship or placement at the<br />
Club are skillful, knowledgeable, and well prepared for<br />
the professional world.<br />

I have been in the business for over 25 years and had many<br />
great mentors throughout my tenure. Being part of the<br />
Program Advisory Committee gives me the opportunity to<br />
give back and guide the next generation of media<br />
professionals. I chose Centennial College as I have always<br />
heard amazing success stories about its graduates. In<br />
fact, many of them have leadership roles in the industry,<br />
which speaks volumes to the groundwork made during their<br />
academic <strong>time</strong> at Centennial.<br />

STORY<br />
Alumnus Davis Fernandes<br />
launched a marketing career with<br />
help from networking opportunities<br />
After completing an accounting and finance degree, it didn’t<br />
take long for Davis Fernandes to realize his passion was<br />
elsewhere. What truly fascinated Davis was writing. Combining<br />
his knack for words with an interest in understanding consumer<br />
behaviour led the India native to two college programs at<br />
Centennial: Marketing Management and Marketing – Digital<br />
Engagement Strategy.<br />
connect him to his future boss and play a role in his current<br />
career. Because Centennial College’s Marketing programs, and<br />
other offerings, employ professors and instructors who are still<br />
active in their fields, in-class sessions often see professional<br />
guest speakers impart knowledge on learners. Students, in<br />
turn, have the unique opportunity to interact with these experts<br />
in an intimate setting.<br />
“Centennial turned out to be the perfect mediator between<br />
myself and my career prospects,” says Davis. “I got to meet<br />
many professionals and instructors who still work in the field<br />
while I got a solid education. I also found the professors to be<br />
accessible and always willing to help you out.”<br />
In fact, during the research phase of choosing an institution<br />
for his marketing education, Davis spoke to his local career<br />
counsellors who specifically mentioned Centennial for its<br />
well-known and strong connection to industry and networking<br />
opportunities. Employing strategy, he narrowed his search<br />
to three Ontario colleges. It was the networking aspect that<br />
convinced Davis to choose Centennial College for his graduate<br />
certificate education.<br />
“Networking was the most important factor for me because<br />
I knew it would be very helpful in getting a job,” he says.<br />
“That’s why it’s important to research and really narrow down<br />
the benefits you’ll get from a college program and a school.”<br />
What Davis had no way of knowing at the <strong>time</strong> was that one<br />
of his marketing and digital marketing classes would directly<br />
DAVIS SAYS...<br />
“I initially got to speak with the CEO of the company where<br />
I currently work when he was a guest speaker in one of my<br />
classes,” says Davis, who graduated from Digital Engagement<br />
Strategy in 2019 and was almost immediately hired as an<br />
advertising operations specialist by advertience, a digital<br />
marketing consultancy that delivers digital marketing services<br />
in media, creative and analytics. “I went back home to India<br />
in July 2019, and when I came back to Toronto, one of my<br />
instructors, who also works at advertience, saw that I was<br />
looking for a job and asked if I wanted to come in for an<br />
interview.”<br />
While Davis ended up concentrating on digital marketing, he<br />
says taking both the Marketing Management and the Marketing<br />
– Digital Engagement Strategy programs served distinct but<br />
equally important purposes. The former, he says, created a<br />
solid foundation and offered an overview of the entire marketing<br />
sector. The latter helped him to specialize his strategy skills and<br />
knowledge. Both programs, he says, are interactive and offer<br />
multiple opportunities to work with real clients.<br />
“The client for my capstone project in Digital Engagement Strategy was Virgin<br />
Mobile. We also worked with other commercial companies on social media<br />
marketing. So, it was really hands-on and we got an idea of what we could<br />
expect from the field. I’m still using the skills I learned in the programs.”<br />

STORY<br />
Alumnus Adekunle Olorundare<br />
Creates Music with No Boundaries<br />
COMMUNICATIONS, MEDIA,<br />
ARTS AND DESIGN<br />
Adekunle Olorundare, or Kunle as he’s known to family,<br />
friends and fans, sits in his downtown Toronto apartment<br />
surrounded by instruments and recording equipment. His<br />
living space is dominated by evidence of music making,<br />
an outward expression of his love of songs and sounds.<br />
“I find music in everything,” he says. “I’ll be releasing a<br />
song soon where the percussion is actually me tapping<br />
on the kitchen table.”<br />
It was Kunle’s desire to make a career out of creating<br />
music that brought him to Canada in 2014, specifically to<br />
attend Centennial’s Music Industry Arts and Performance<br />
program. Realizing that he’d need to learn the business<br />
language of music to be successful as a working artist,<br />
he chose Centennial’s program because it offered<br />
an ideal balance between creative development and<br />
practical industry knowledge.<br />
“It’s one of the few programs that allows students to<br />
explore anything and everything,” he says. “You can work<br />
with all different kinds of genres and instruments, and in<br />
your third year you can choose to go into either production<br />
and technology or business. I’m constantly using the skills<br />
I developed there in new and unexpected ways.”<br />
Growing up in Nigeria, Kunle absorbed his father’s vast<br />
musical tastes. “My upbringing was full of music through<br />
my dad, who has a huge collection of records,” he says.<br />
“Rock, jazz, pop, folk, country; he listened to everything.<br />
I remember pretending to have malaria just so I could stay<br />
home and listen to music.”<br />
It was that diversity and the opportunity to explore his<br />
vast musical interests that motivated Kunle to make the<br />
most of his <strong>time</strong> at Centennial. “I was really invested in the<br />
school and was constantly reaching out to the teachers,”<br />
he says. “When you’re hungry to achieve your goals, you’ll<br />
put everything into it.”<br />
His focus has paid off. Since graduating, Kunle has<br />
become a regular fixture of Toronto’s music scene, playing<br />
in local venues for audiences with tastes as diverse as the<br />
music he creates. He’s also toured Europe several <strong>time</strong>s<br />
and had an opportunity to perform in his dream venue in<br />
Ghana, backed by a string quartet. His future is looking<br />
bright.<br />
But Kunle’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges.<br />
As a newcomer to Canada and a person of colour, he<br />
has experienced discrimination from some corners of<br />
the music industry. “As an immigrant, there are so many<br />
barriers you have to break through,” he says. “And there’s<br />
a structure in place that’s not super supportive of people<br />
of colour. It’s unspoken, but it’s there.”<br />
Kunle’s optimistic outlook and belief in music as a<br />
uniting force are what keep him moving forward. “There is<br />
discrimination, but I don’t care,” he says. “Music brings<br />
people together and there are so many things to be<br />
grateful for.” As he looks ahead to what’s next, Kunle is<br />
focused on continuing to break down barriers through his<br />
music and bring his art to ever broader audiences.<br />
ADEKUNLE’S ADVICE FOR ASPIRING MUSICIANS...<br />
“You just have to stay true to yourself and embrace who you are. Work on whatever<br />
faults you feel you have, but embrace who you are. No one’s going to tell your story<br />
better than you tell it.”<br />

• Communicable diseases immunization details as specified in the Practice Requirements Record.<br />
• Vulnerable sector screening – police reference checks are done to protect clientele who are<br />
considered “vulnerable persons”. A “clear” police check means that there is currently no police<br />
record found for that individual in the jurisdiction surveyed. A “not clear” police check means that<br />
there is a police record found for the individual for an undisclosed reason. Students are required to<br />
keep the original vulnerable sector screening – police reference check. It is the placement agency<br />
that will make the decision whether or not to accept the student for placement. This agency<br />
decision may require the student to self-disclose the particulars of the “not clear” police check.<br />
Students have the right to not disclose the particulars of the “not clear” police check. Students<br />
denied placement by the agency on the grounds of a “not clear” police check will not be able to<br />
complete their practice placement and will jeopardize their progress in the program.<br />

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

SUCCESS<br />
STORY<br />
Alumnus Mobeena Hamid<br />
reshaped her career path<br />
through the Social Service<br />
Worker program<br />
COMMUNITY AND<br />
HEALTH STUDIES<br />
Mobeena Hamid remembers when she realized<br />
the positive impact her Social Service Worker<br />
training could have. She was completing one of<br />
the program’s two specialized field placements<br />
at Centennial College’s Career Services and<br />
Co-operative Education department when a<br />
student came in voicing concerns about her<br />
inability to pay tuition. Using concepts she learned<br />
in her college courses, Mobeena was able to help<br />
the client by assisting with an action plan and<br />
increasing her confidence in finding work. It was<br />
also one of the many program experiences that<br />
altered Mobeena’s career trajectory.<br />
“When I came to the college, I was convinced I<br />
wanted to work with kids and youth, but I was<br />
exposed to so much more that opened my eyes<br />
to how varied the social service work field is,”<br />
says Mobeena.<br />
Arriving at Centennial with an Honours Bachelor<br />
of Arts, Mobeena wanted to use her college<br />
experience as a bridging point to further education.<br />
She immediately noticed the differences<br />
MOBEENA’S ADVICE TO NEW STUDENTS...<br />
between a university and a college approach to<br />
education. In Mobeena’s small-sized classes, the<br />
predominant method of learning was a practical<br />
application. This, she says, was highly effective<br />
in truly being able to understand concepts<br />
and theories.<br />
Centennial’s Social Service Worker program,<br />
says Mobeena, also takes common application<br />
practices a step further. “Rather than just sitting<br />
down and looking at slides, the activities created<br />
a lot of class discussion and encouraged active<br />
critical thinking,” she says. “We weren’t just<br />
internalizing ideas.”<br />
With the richness of Centennial’s in-class learning,<br />
Mobeena says she was able to confidently enter<br />
the Social Service Worker program’s integrated<br />
field placements. In fact, she also credits the<br />
Career Services placement with being hired for a<br />
contract she recently completed as an employment<br />
outreach counsellor and the program with helping<br />
her get accepted into her Master’s program.<br />
“I would tell new Social Service Worker students to push yourself out of your<br />
comfort zone, academically and socially. Building meaningful relationships with<br />
faculty and my peers helps with learning and professional development.”<br />

SUCCESS<br />
STORY<br />
Alumnus Kyle Barnes<br />
Excels in a Career Protecting<br />
the Environment<br />
As a child, Kyle Barnes loved learning about nature and being outdoors. Earlier than most, he knew that a career<br />
committed to protecting the environment would be in his future.<br />
That’s why, when it came <strong>time</strong> to choose a post-secondary program, Barnes didn’t hesitate: He recognized Centennial’s<br />
Environmental Technologist program would help him realize his dream.<br />
“It turned out to be one of the best experiences I’ve ever had,” he says. “The program was very hands-on. We were<br />
constantly outdoors, collecting samples and doing field work.”<br />
ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY<br />
AND APPLIED SCIENCE<br />
After graduating in 2016, Barnes secured a role as a client service representative with the Ontario Ministry of the<br />
Environment — a position that allows him to put the knowledge he gained at Centennial into practice every day.<br />
“One moment I’ll be speaking with a farmer seeking a permit for pesticide use, and the next I’ll be speaking with a<br />
lawyer looking for advice on environmental regulations,” he says. “The courses I took at Centennial directly equipped<br />
me to succeed in this role.”<br />
As he looks ahead to what’s next, Barnes has his sights set on becoming an environmental officer — the “boots on the<br />
ground” workers who are out in the field enforcing environmental regulations and bylaws. Every step of the way, he<br />
credits Centennial with turning his dreams into reality. “Centennial has allowed me to do what I’ve always loved,”<br />
he says. “Being able to match my childhood passion with my career has been amazing.”<br />
KYLE’S ADVICE TO NEW STUDENTS...<br />
"When you’re looking for a job in your field, have the tenacity and the courage<br />
to really put yourself out there. Just go for it."<br />
