ACKNOWLEDGEMENT<br />
Centennial College is proud to be a part of a rich history of education in<br />
this province and in this city. We acknowledge that we are on the treaty<br />
lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and<br />
pay tribute to their legacy and the legacy of all First Peoples of Canada,<br />
as we strengthen ties with the communities we serve and build the<br />
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 the<br />
treaty lands of the Mississaugas. We acknowledge that we are all treaty<br />
people and accept our responsibility to honour all our relations.<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 />

As a Centennial graduate and Program Advisory Committee<br />
member for the last five years, I have witnessed<br />
tremendous growth and expansion within the Dance<br />
Performance program. Despite the global challenges of the<br />
last couple of years, Centennial’s knowledgeable faculty<br />
has come up with innovative solutions to be able to offer<br />
the best training and hands-on experience possible for<br />
their students. I always have a positive experience when<br />
I get the opportunity to work with Centennial alumni,<br />
which is a testament to the quality of education offered<br />
at this college.<br />

STORY<br />
Alumnus Darlene Llewellyn-Konecny<br />
applies learnings to mentorship<br />
Since completing her accounting education at Centennial in<br />
1985, Darlene Llewellyn-Konecny has returned to the college<br />
twice. First, as a student in the Fundraising program, and most<br />
recently as a mentor to the next generation of business leaders.<br />
When Darlene first attended Centennial College for accounting<br />
in the 1980s, she did so because of the college’s proximity<br />
to her home. When, nearly 30 years later, she returned for the<br />
part-time Fundraising certificate offering, she did so because<br />
Centennial felt like home. Today, as she mentors Business<br />
School students, it’s because Darlene understands the<br />
importance of fostering the connections to lifelong learning<br />
from which her career has benefitted.<br />
understand accounting, Darlene has discovered surprising uses<br />
for the skills she gained in the Fundraising certificate.<br />
“I took the Fundraising program to be a better leader at a<br />
charity where I was volunteering,” says Darlene, whose portfolio<br />
includes mainly smaller businesses with 100 or less employees<br />
that turn to Konecny Consulting to complete roles for which<br />
they may not be able to hire full time. “But even when I write<br />
reports today, I think back to how that program taught me to<br />
write reports that are compelling. Fundraising knowledge also<br />
plays a role in the power of business because in fundraising you<br />
are trying to raise awareness for a cause and in business those<br />
skills can be transferred to promoting yourself.”<br />
“I want students to understand that they won’t stop learning<br />
the day they graduate,” says Darlene, who, with her husband,<br />
owns an IT consulting firm that also offers services such as<br />
documentation, bookkeeping, office management, and project<br />
management. “Their Centennial credential is the first step in a<br />
long career. Even after graduating in 1985 and then returning<br />
to Centennial in 2012, I’m still taking courses and getting more<br />
certifications. It’s a lifelong process.”<br />
With a career in business that spans more than 35 years,<br />
Darlene still finds herself turning back to the skills she gained<br />
at Centennial College. In addition to employing her accounting<br />
knowledge as a certified bookkeeper to help companies<br />
DARLENE SAYS...<br />
A few years ago, Darlene’s Centennial College experience<br />
came full circle when she became involved in the college’s<br />
Ten Thousand Coffees initiative. A networking platform, it<br />
connects students and grads with alumni and industry<br />
professionals. Every four weeks, mentors are paired with new<br />
mentees. Centennial’s branch of the platform also holds events,<br />
during which notable college alumni give advice to students.<br />
Darlene says when the opportunity arose, she didn’t hesitate to<br />
get involved in giving back. She says her role as a mentor has<br />
been a way to pay forward her not only her business experience,<br />
but also her views on the importance of continuous learning.<br />
“It took me about a year to get a job after I graduated. I want to be there for the<br />
students who are having similar challenges. I start with the initial four weeks,<br />
but I am open to keeping the connection going. I have one student who I have<br />
mentored for two years now. I want to help these students to advance their careers<br />
and I always tell them if they need me, I’ll be there. It’s rewarding to feel like<br />
you are adding value to someone’s career journey.”<br />

“Having started the new three-year Product Design and<br />
Development program at Centennial College, it is turning out to<br />
be everything that I had hoped for. The classes are both<br />
interesting and very challenging, and we are learning to think in<br />
new ways and to approach design problems from a fresh<br />
perspective. The program is a joint venture between Centennial’s<br />
Schools of Art and Design and Engineering Technology and Applied<br />
Science. Thus, the strengths of both facilities are available to students of the<br />
program. Of particular value for me is the program’s collaborative aspect.<br />
Rather than the generally more solitary nature of an arts program, here group<br />
work is the norm. This is reflective of the workplace I intend to enter, where the<br />
ability to function as part of a team is vital. Product Design and Development’s<br />
unique blend of the technical and the artistic, plus business, is exactly what I<br />
was looking for. Eager to start a new career in product design, I am confident<br />
that this program will provide me with the best possible training to be<br />
successful.”<br />

Alumnus<br />
Dhaval Jagdishbhai Jasani<br />
Goes from engineering to<br />
entertainment<br />
Education always comes with challenges, and<br />
Dhaval Jagdishbhai Jasani certainly had his fair share.<br />
First, there was the decision to leave India and come to<br />
Canada for his education. Then he elected to change his<br />
career path from engineering to photography. And after<br />
that, there was an intense, difficult assignment that every<br />
student feels like they have at least one of. But Dhaval got<br />
through all of those challenges and thrived.<br />
“Back in India, I started working with the manufacturing<br />
industry as a welding engineer,” Dhaval says. “I worked<br />
there for six years, but you know, it was the same job, same<br />
people.<br />
“Photography was my hobby. I started shooting photos of<br />
people and family functions, then I got into the wedding<br />
industry. I started photographing weddings on weekends,<br />
with my friends, and then I realized that wedding gigs are<br />
paying me much more than my full-time job.”<br />
It turns out that Dhaval’s engineering and photography<br />
skills blended together in some unique ways, which<br />
opened doors for him. “I did Netflix shows, I did Amazon<br />
Prime shows, CBC shows, and I worked on Spiral, the latest<br />
Saw movie,” Dhaval says. How? “I got into the research<br />
department and started developing and programming<br />
robotic arms in the camera department,” he says.<br />
That wasn’t all Dhaval did. He also started as a production<br />
assistant in the Locations area of the industry, and actively<br />
sought work in every area to see how it was all done. It<br />
was this experience that finally made Dhaval decide to<br />
get educated for the career he wanted more by studying<br />
Photography at Centennial. “I would say working in the<br />
studio was the most rewarding part,” Dhaval says about his<br />
time in the Photography program, before bringing up the<br />
fact that, in most colleges, you need to rent photography<br />
equipment yourself. “At Centennial, everything is set up,<br />
you just have to bring your own camera.”<br />
Despite that realization, Dhaval didn’t go into photography<br />
and instead came to Canada to study for his original<br />
profession. Arriving in Toronto in 2018, Dhaval chose<br />
Electro-Mechanical Engineering at Centennial College<br />
and finished the program a year later. But after that, he<br />
wandered back into photography, thanks to his friends.<br />
“After graduating from the engineering program, I came<br />
in contact with a friend. He got me into the industry,” he<br />
says. And by industry, he means film and television.<br />
Dhaval credits his friends, fellow<br />
students, and professors for helping<br />
him succeed in his program, not just<br />
by helping him when he needed it,<br />
but also going hands-off and giving<br />
him the space to do what he needed.<br />
“They gave me the freedom that I needed, may it be<br />
technical and/or creative,” he says. By combining his<br />
engineering knowledge with his love of photography,<br />
Dhaval has a super bright future ahead of him.<br />

Additional Requirements<br />
• In accordance with the policy of the program, the Public Hospitals Act, other legislation, and the<br />
requirements of the practice placement settings, the Practice Requirements Record must be<br />
completed in its entirety by a student’s health care provider, and all supporting documents must<br />
be attached. A Practice Requirements Record form with full instructions can be obtained from the<br />
Central Placement office website: centennialcollege.ca/collaborative-nursing-degree.<br />
• Communicable diseases immunization details, as specified in the Practice Requirements Record.<br />
• Obtain a clear police check with vulnerable sector screening. Vulnerable sector screenings must<br />
be issued within six months of each placement start date. Any previous criminal record must be<br />
pardoned.<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 />
• International students will need to retain the police clearance document that was used to obtain<br />
their study permit and apply for a local vulnerable sector check.<br />
• Students who live in the City of Toronto must obtain an application form from the Health Studies<br />
office, Room 352 at Morningside Campus. For information about the application process, visit<br />
centennialcollege.ca/healthstudiespolicechecks.<br />
• Students are required to be tested, onsite, and fitted for a respiratory mask. Students will then<br />
carry a card with them that indicates the type and model of mask they have been tested for. At the<br />
time of testing, students must remove facial hair and any clothing covering their face to ensure a<br />
proper seal. Likewise, in the event that students are required to wear a mask during their<br />
placement, students must remove facial hair and any clothing that covers their face. To learn more,<br />
visit centennialcollege.ca/schsclinicalandfieldplacements.<br />
• Students are required to obtain cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certification.<br />
Only Healthcare Professional (HCP) level certification will be accepted.<br />
Notes:<br />
1. Students who fail to meet the above requirements will not be permitted to begin their nursing practice courses and will be<br />
subject to academic penalties.<br />
2. All Nursing students, in order to practice nursing, must be active participants, working with, and providing care to, diverse<br />
populations inclusive of male, female, and transgender individuals. Students who are unable to meet this requirement will<br />
jeopardize their progress in the program.<br />
Before undertaking this program, students should be aware that, upon graduation, they must be able to satisfy all the Registration<br />
Requirements of the College of Nurses of Ontario. For more, visit cno.org/en/become-a-nurse/registration-requirements.<br />

HEALTH STUDIES<br />
“Before I started this program, I had zero experience in the<br />
pharmacy field. All my knowledge and skills about pharmacy<br />
practice, medication, and techniques were learned in the classroom<br />
setting. The program has a good balance between theory and<br />
practical courses, which provided me with essential skills and<br />
experiences to work in a real pharmacy. I started my first pharmacy job<br />
after my third semester at Centennial College. My manager was surprised at how<br />
fast I was able to pick up the workflow, as my only previous pharmacy experience<br />
was from the two placements that amounted to 56 hours in total. Aside from the<br />
program structure, the instructors are all very passionate about the materials they<br />
are teaching, and they really care about the success of their students. Overall,<br />
I believe the Pharmacy Technician program at Centennial College is a well-rounded<br />
and comprehensive program that really helped me to prepare for the workforce<br />
and becoming a registered pharmacy technician.”<br />

COMMUNITY AND<br />
HEALTH STUDIES<br />
At 20 years old, Wing Tse is a graduate of<br />
Centennial’s Pre-Service Firefighter Education<br />
and Training program and on track to become a<br />
firefighter. But when Tse was 14, he found himself<br />
unhoused, and moved in with his friend’s family.<br />
“I don’t think my story is a sad one because<br />
of them,” he says. “They’ve been amazing<br />
and instilled the drive and fearlessness that<br />
I carry with me in life. So much support had<br />
been provided to me by my new family and<br />
the community that I knew I had to give back<br />
in some way. I realized firefighting would be a<br />
perfect career for me; it combines my desire to<br />
help people with my love of physical activity and<br />
teamwork.<br />
“Centennial gave me a circle of people who cared<br />
about me, who saw something great in me, who<br />
helped me understand what I’m capable of.”<br />
They also encouraged Tse to find volunteer<br />
opportunities, like organizing toy drives for kids in<br />
need.<br />
“I can’t even remember how many toy drives<br />
I organized!” he says. “From there, I started<br />
organizing other initiatives, like collecting<br />
money to donate to the college or for causes like<br />
muscular dystrophy.”<br />
Soon, Tse found himself launching Centennial’s<br />
first FireFit Champions team, a competition based<br />
on tasks found in firefighting situations.<br />
“That was probably the highlight of my experience<br />
at Centennial,” he says. “It was a lot of work, but<br />
I got to connect with so many people at FireFit,<br />
at Centennial and in the community.”<br />
Centennial also helped Tse find his passion<br />
for mental health, through the Mental Health<br />
First Aid Training course. Tse then pursued an<br />
undergraduate degree in psychology, and he<br />
helped to launch [s]mileage, an online clothing<br />
company that donates proceeds to Stella’s Place,<br />
a Toronto non-profit providing mental health<br />
support for youth. As he looks ahead, Tse credits<br />
Centennial, with helping him find confidence.<br />
WING SAYS<br />
“I want to thank Centennial for all of the endless and amazing opportunities they<br />
provided, and for going above and beyond every step of the way,” Tse says.<br />
“Centennial was the community I needed to realize who I am and what I can do,<br />
and really propelled me to do what I’m doing now.”<br />

“I remember when I was just about 17, I said to myself, I have to<br />
look for a school that will teach me new things and hone the<br />
abilities that I already possess. I knew that the only way I could<br />
thrive instead of survive was a great school with a great co-op<br />
program. I did my research, and what I found is that Centennial<br />
College has one of the best co-op programs you will find. I just knew I<br />
had to go here because co-op was my liberation. It was the freedom to go out<br />
there and show my abilities to any one of my future employers. What I learned at<br />
Centennial, I could put to practice in the world, with the guidance, patience, and<br />
love of the people of the co-op department. I truly wanted to say thank you for all<br />
the help that has been given to me. I suggest that everyone should fight for co-op.<br />
It is one of the best ways to learn, and when you graduate, you are better than<br />
many because of the experience.”<br />

SUCCESS<br />
STORY<br />
Alumnus Deepti Jaswal<br />
Benefits from Faculty Support<br />
ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY<br />
AND APPLIED SCIENCE<br />
Centennial College Biotechnology graduate Deepti Jaswal<br />
logged into LinkedIn and immediately noticed a job post.<br />
It had been uploaded by one of her former professors.s<br />
Because the post specified a cover letter and resumé,<br />
she turned to Centennial’s Career Services to polish the<br />
documents. An interview with the employer followed,<br />
and so did a job offer. Deepti’s experience illustrates<br />
Centennial’s commitment to 360-degree student support<br />
— even after graduation.<br />
“Yvonne Henry was my teacher in my first semester, and<br />
she had industry-based experience, so while we were in<br />
labs, she would also explain how the industry worked,”<br />
says Deepti. “She also taught a career prep course, and<br />
was the one who made us all create LinkedIn accounts<br />
and told us how important it was to network.”<br />
In addition to committed instructors, Biotechnology offers<br />
students the skill set for work as laboratory technicians in<br />
quality control and quality assurance. Because it covers a<br />
wide range of topics, students aren’t limited to one sector.<br />
This is part of the reason Deepti was able to successfully<br />
apply to a quality assurance technician position at North<br />
America's second largest sushi brand, Bento Sushi.<br />
“Even though I took Biotechnology, it included study of<br />
food science,” says Deepti. “If the program didn’t include<br />
all these topics, it would have been difficult for me to deal<br />
with responsibilities such as microbial testing, which is<br />
part of my job.”<br />
The diverse topics included in the Biotechnology<br />
program’s two years of study are supported by handson<br />
training. For Deepti, who had previously acquired a<br />
Bachelor of Science in her native India, this component of<br />
the program was particularly useful.<br />
“Canada is all about experience, and coming from India,<br />
I got a lot of theory but not much experience,” she says,<br />
“Being in Centennial’s labs helped me a lot.”<br />
Deepti, who hopes to acquire more quality assurance<br />
experience before applying for a master’s degree program,<br />
was recently reunited with her professor, Yvonne, for a<br />
virtual Q&A with the program’s newest students.<br />
DEEPTI SAYS...<br />
“[During the virtual Q&A, the students] had so many questions, and I was<br />
happy to be able to answer their questions in a realistic way because now I<br />
have the work experience. I hope it helps to lead them in the right way in<br />
their career.”<br />

Retail sales of baked goods in Canada reached $2.19 billion at the end of 2021. That means the<br />

learning opportunity. Important industry certifications, such as Smart Serve, Safe Food Handlers,<br />
CPR, and It’s Your Shift (a training and awareness program to prevent sexual harassment and<br />
violence), complement your diploma — and your holistic readiness for success.<br />
Note: Once you successfully complete the one-year Baking Skills program, you may directly enter the third semester of this program<br />
and earn a diploma in one additional year.<br />

College’s Event Planning program, which was still relatively new at<br />
