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.

Guidebook 2023/2024

Don’t just get an education. 

Our world today is more competitive than ever. It’s not enough to just 

check a box, pass a class, get a degree. You have to be ready to compete. 

Get a seat at the table. Get an opportunity to speak your mind. Immerse 

yourself in a school that’s all about getting you ready for your future, not 

anybody else’s. 

At Centennial, you’ll develop the right technical skills to break into your 

field. Plus the life skills you need to stand out, and seize every opportunity 

that comes your way. 

So don’t just get an education. Because there’s a big difference between 

being simply ready to work, and being ready to build a life that works for 

you. 

GET READY.

AND SUPPORTS

CENTENNIAL COLLEGE IS COMMITTED TO 

EMBRACING THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE 

TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION REPORT AND ITS 

CALLS TO ACTION. 

Our approach is rooted in the acknowledgement of 

Indigenous sovereignty, treaty rights, and the continuing 

systemic colonial oppression of the Indigenous peoples 

of Turtle Island. We are steadfast in working with 

Indigenous nations and communities to provide support 

for all Indigenous students to achieve their learning 

goals and to successfully graduate. Services incorporate 

culturally-sensitive advising for any aspect of your life or 

learning. This includes spiritual, academic, mental health, 

relationships, and career advice rooted in culturally-based 

approaches. For more information on our supports please 

contact Seán Kinsella, our Director, the Eighth Fire at 

skinsella@centennialcollege.ca. 


WE’RE GROWING 

WITH INTENTION 

In 2023, learn, gather, and gain knowledge of Indigenous ways in our 

new Progress Campus gateway structure. An expansion of the campus, 

it will be Canada’s first zero-carbon, mass timber higher education building. 

The addition is on track to receive WELL Building Standard ® , Leadership in 

Energy and Environmental Design (LEED ® ), and Zero Carbon certifications. 

Simultaneously, the building will embody our commitment to Truth and 

Reconciliation. It will include spaces conducive to Indigenous teaching and 

learning models; areas for gathering with citizens of Indigenous Nations 

and Indigenous community members; and places for smudging.

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 Centennial graduate and Program Advisory Committee 

member for the last five years, I have witnessed 

tremendous growth and expansion within the Dance 

Performance program. Despite the global challenges of the 

last couple of years, Centennial’s knowledgeable faculty 

has come up with innovative solutions to be able to offer 

the best training and hands-on experience possible for 

their students. I always have a positive experience when 

I get the opportunity to work with Centennial alumni, 

which is a testament to the quality of education offered 

at this college. 

Ceilidh Degano 

Dance and Yoga Instructor 

I have been in the advertising photography business for over 

35 years and feel privileged to have been a member of the 

Centennial College Program Advisory Committee for four years. 

During this time, I have observed the continuing dedication of 

the teaching staff’s mandate to equip students with the latest 

skills. I feel the Photography program extensively prepares 

graduates with the necessary tools to succeed in this 

ever-changing industry.

STORY 

Alumnus Darlene Llewellyn-Konecny 

applies learnings to mentorship 

Since completing her accounting education at Centennial in 

1985, Darlene Llewellyn-Konecny has returned to the college 

twice. First, as a student in the Fundraising program, and most 

recently as a mentor to the next generation of business leaders. 

When Darlene first attended Centennial College for accounting 

in the 1980s, she did so because of the college’s proximity 

to her home. When, nearly 30 years later, she returned for the 

part-time Fundraising certificate offering, she did so because 

Centennial felt like home. Today, as she mentors Business 

School students, it’s because Darlene understands the 

importance of fostering the connections to lifelong learning 

from which her career has benefitted. 

understand accounting, Darlene has discovered surprising uses 

for the skills she gained in the Fundraising certificate. 

“I took the Fundraising program to be a better leader at a 

charity where I was volunteering,” says Darlene, whose portfolio 

includes mainly smaller businesses with 100 or less employees 

that turn to Konecny Consulting to complete roles for which 

they may not be able to hire full time. “But even when I write 

reports today, I think back to how that program taught me to 

write reports that are compelling. Fundraising knowledge also 

plays a role in the power of business because in fundraising you 

are trying to raise awareness for a cause and in business those 

skills can be transferred to promoting yourself.” 

“I want students to understand that they won’t stop learning 

the day they graduate,” says Darlene, who, with her husband, 

owns an IT consulting firm that also offers services such as 

documentation, bookkeeping, office management, and project 

management. “Their Centennial credential is the first step in a 

long career. Even after graduating in 1985 and then returning 

to Centennial in 2012, I’m still taking courses and getting more 

certifications. It’s a lifelong process.” 

With a career in business that spans more than 35 years, 

Darlene still finds herself turning back to the skills she gained 

at Centennial College. In addition to employing her accounting 

knowledge as a certified bookkeeper to help companies 

DARLENE SAYS... 

A few years ago, Darlene’s Centennial College experience 

came full circle when she became involved in the college’s 

Ten Thousand Coffees initiative. A networking platform, it 

connects students and grads with alumni and industry 

professionals. Every four weeks, mentors are paired with new 

mentees. Centennial’s branch of the platform also holds events, 

during which notable college alumni give advice to students. 

Darlene says when the opportunity arose, she didn’t hesitate to 

get involved in giving back. She says her role as a mentor has 

been a way to pay forward her not only her business experience, 

but also her views on the importance of continuous learning. 

“It took me about a year to get a job after I graduated. I want to be there for the 

students who are having similar challenges. I start with the initial four weeks, 

but I am open to keeping the connection going. I have one student who I have 

mentored for two years now. I want to help these students to advance their careers 

and I always tell them if they need me, I’ll be there. It’s rewarding to feel like 

you are adding value to someone’s career journey.”

“Having started the new three-year Product Design and 

Development program at Centennial College, it is turning out to 

be everything that I had hoped for. The classes are both 

interesting and very challenging, and we are learning to think in 

new ways and to approach design problems from a fresh 

perspective. The program is a joint venture between Centennial’s 

Schools of Art and Design and Engineering Technology and Applied 

Science. Thus, the strengths of both facilities are available to students of the 

program. Of particular value for me is the program’s collaborative aspect. 

Rather than the generally more solitary nature of an arts program, here group 

work is the norm. This is reflective of the workplace I intend to enter, where the 

ability to function as part of a team is vital. Product Design and Development’s 

unique blend of the technical and the artistic, plus business, is exactly what I 

was looking for. Eager to start a new career in product design, I am confident 

that this program will provide me with the best possible training to be 

successful.”

SUCCESS 

STORY 



Alumnus 

Dhaval Jagdishbhai Jasani 

Goes from engineering to 

entertainment 

Education always comes with challenges, and 

Dhaval Jagdishbhai Jasani certainly had his fair share. 

First, there was the decision to leave India and come to 

Canada for his education. Then he elected to change his 

career path from engineering to photography. And after 

that, there was an intense, difficult assignment that every 

student feels like they have at least one of. But Dhaval got 

through all of those challenges and thrived. 

“Back in India, I started working with the manufacturing 

industry as a welding engineer,” Dhaval says. “I worked 

there for six years, but you know, it was the same job, same 

people. 

“Photography was my hobby. I started shooting photos of 

people and family functions, then I got into the wedding 

industry. I started photographing weddings on weekends, 

with my friends, and then I realized that wedding gigs are 

paying me much more than my full-time job.” 

It turns out that Dhaval’s engineering and photography 

skills blended together in some unique ways, which 

opened doors for him. “I did Netflix shows, I did Amazon 

Prime shows, CBC shows, and I worked on Spiral, the latest 

Saw movie,” Dhaval says. How? “I got into the research 

department and started developing and programming 

robotic arms in the camera department,” he says. 

That wasn’t all Dhaval did. He also started as a production 

assistant in the Locations area of the industry, and actively 

sought work in every area to see how it was all done. It 

was this experience that finally made Dhaval decide to 

get educated for the career he wanted more by studying 

Photography at Centennial. “I would say working in the 

studio was the most rewarding part,” Dhaval says about his 

time in the Photography program, before bringing up the 

fact that, in most colleges, you need to rent photography 

equipment yourself. “At Centennial, everything is set up, 

you just have to bring your own camera.” 

Despite that realization, Dhaval didn’t go into photography 

and instead came to Canada to study for his original 

profession. Arriving in Toronto in 2018, Dhaval chose 

Electro-Mechanical Engineering at Centennial College 

and finished the program a year later. But after that, he 

wandered back into photography, thanks to his friends. 

“After graduating from the engineering program, I came 

in contact with a friend. He got me into the industry,” he 

says. And by industry, he means film and television. 

Dhaval credits his friends, fellow 

students, and professors for helping 

him succeed in his program, not just 

by helping him when he needed it, 

but also going hands-off and giving 

him the space to do what he needed. 

“They gave me the freedom that I needed, may it be 

technical and/or creative,” he says. By combining his 

engineering knowledge with his love of photography, 

Dhaval has a super bright future ahead of him.

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. 

• Obtain a clear police check with vulnerable sector screening. Vulnerable sector screenings must 

be issued within six months of each placement start date. Any previous criminal record must be 

pardoned. 

• 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/healthstudiespolicechecks. 

• 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 the 

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/schsclinicalandfieldplacements. 

• 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. 

Before undertaking this program, students should be aware that, upon graduation, they must be able to satisfy all the Registration 

Requirements of the College of Nurses of Ontario. For more, visit cno.org/en/become-a-nurse/registration-requirements.

“The best part of this program was the clinical experience. 

The faculty in the Personal Support Worker program ensured 

that we entered our placements with not only knowledge, but 

also pure confidence and faith within ourselves. This clinical 

experience tested each student in multiple areas, such as time 

management, heath assessment, documenting, critical thinking, and 

communication skills. I successfully graduated with honours and got an 

acceptance to the Practical Nursing program here at Centennial College. 

I’m currently in my third semester, and with no hesitation, I can honestly say 

that taking the PSW program helped make me excel in the Nursing program. 

I highly recommend the Personal Support Worker program to any students 

wanting to experience what it means to be a personal worker, or wanting to 

understand if the health care field is for them.”

“Before I started this program, I had zero experience in the 

pharmacy field. All my knowledge and skills about pharmacy 

practice, medication, and techniques were learned in the classroom 

setting. The program has a good balance between theory and 

practical courses, which provided me with essential skills and 

experiences to work in a real pharmacy. I started my first pharmacy job 

after my third semester at Centennial College. My manager was surprised at how 

fast I was able to pick up the workflow, as my only previous pharmacy experience 

was from the two placements that amounted to 56 hours in total. Aside from the 

program structure, the instructors are all very passionate about the materials they 

are teaching, and they really care about the success of their students. Overall, 

I believe the Pharmacy Technician program at Centennial College is a well-rounded

STORY 

Alumnus Wing Tse 

Becomes Empowered To Dream 

COMMUNITY AND 


At 20 years old, Wing Tse is a graduate of 

Centennial’s Pre-Service Firefighter Education 

and Training program and on track to become a 

firefighter. But when Tse was 14, he found himself 

unhoused, and moved in with his friend’s family. 

“I don’t think my story is a sad one because 

of them,” he says. “They’ve been amazing 

and instilled the drive and fearlessness that 

I carry with me in life. So much support had 

been provided to me by my new family and 

the community that I knew I had to give back 

in some way. I realized firefighting would be a 

perfect career for me; it combines my desire to 

help people with my love of physical activity and 

teamwork. 

“Centennial gave me a circle of people who cared 

about me, who saw something great in me, who 

helped me understand what I’m capable of.” 

They also encouraged Tse to find volunteer 

opportunities, like organizing toy drives for kids in 

need. 

“I can’t even remember how many toy drives 

I organized!” he says. “From there, I started 

organizing other initiatives, like collecting 

money to donate to the college or for causes like 

muscular dystrophy.” 

Soon, Tse found himself launching Centennial’s 

first FireFit Champions team, a competition based 

on tasks found in firefighting situations. 

“That was probably the highlight of my experience 

at Centennial,” he says. “It was a lot of work, but 

I got to connect with so many people at FireFit, 

at Centennial and in the community.” 

Centennial also helped Tse find his passion 

for mental health, through the Mental Health 

First Aid Training course. Tse then pursued an 

undergraduate degree in psychology, and he 

helped to launch [s]mileage, an online clothing 

company that donates proceeds to Stella’s Place, 

a Toronto non-profit providing mental health 

support for youth. As he looks ahead, Tse credits 

Centennial, with helping him find confidence. 

WING SAYS 

“I want to thank Centennial for all of the endless and amazing opportunities they 

provided, and for going above and beyond every step of the way,” Tse says. 

“Centennial was the community I needed to realize who I am and what I can do, 

and really propelled me to do what I’m doing now.”

“I remember when I was just about 17, I said to myself, I have to 

look for a school that will teach me new things and hone the 

abilities that I already possess. I knew that the only way I could 

thrive instead of survive was a great school with a great co-op 

program. I did my research, and what I found is that Centennial 

College has one of the best co-op programs you will find. I just knew I 

had to go here because co-op was my liberation. It was the freedom to go out 

there and show my abilities to any one of my future employers. What I learned at 

Centennial, I could put to practice in the world, with the guidance, patience, and 

love of the people of the co-op department. I truly wanted to say thank you for all 

the help that has been given to me. I suggest that everyone should fight for co-op. 

It is one of the best ways to learn, and when you graduate, you are better than 

many because of the experience.”

SUCCESS 

STORY 

Alumnus Deepti Jaswal 

Benefits from Faculty Support 



Centennial College Biotechnology graduate Deepti Jaswal 

logged into LinkedIn and immediately noticed a job post. 

It had been uploaded by one of her former professors.s 

Because the post specified a cover letter and resumé, 

she turned to Centennial’s Career Services to polish the 

documents. An interview with the employer followed, 

and so did a job offer. Deepti’s experience illustrates 

Centennial’s commitment to 360-degree student support 

— even after graduation. 

“Yvonne Henry was my teacher in my first semester, and 

she had industry-based experience, so while we were in 

labs, she would also explain how the industry worked,” 

says Deepti. “She also taught a career prep course, and 

was the one who made us all create LinkedIn accounts 

and told us how important it was to network.” 

In addition to committed instructors, Biotechnology offers 

students the skill set for work as laboratory technicians in 

quality control and quality assurance. Because it covers a 

wide range of topics, students aren’t limited to one sector. 

This is part of the reason Deepti was able to successfully 

apply to a quality assurance technician position at North 

America's second largest sushi brand, Bento Sushi. 

“Even though I took Biotechnology, it included study of 

food science,” says Deepti. “If the program didn’t include 

all these topics, it would have been difficult for me to deal 

with responsibilities such as microbial testing, which is 

part of my job.” 

The diverse topics included in the Biotechnology 

program’s two years of study are supported by handson 

training. For Deepti, who had previously acquired a 

Bachelor of Science in her native India, this component of 

the program was particularly useful. 

“Canada is all about experience, and coming from India, 

I got a lot of theory but not much experience,” she says, 

“Being in Centennial’s labs helped me a lot.” 

Deepti, who hopes to acquire more quality assurance 

experience before applying for a master’s degree program, 

was recently reunited with her professor, Yvonne, for a 

virtual Q&A with the program’s newest students. 

DEEPTI SAYS... 

“[During the virtual Q&A, the students] had so many questions, and I was 

happy to be able to answer their questions in a realistic way because now I 

have the work experience. I hope it helps to lead them in the right way in 

their career.”

“I never pictured myself in event planning. I read about Centennial 

College’s Event Planning program, which was still relatively new at 

the time. I decided to take the leap, and I was not disappointed. 

Because the program was still new, I found there were a lot of 

professors interested in our feedback. My professors were extremely 

supportive and made me feel like I was more than a student number. After 

my two years at Centennial College, I was immediately hired into my industry via 

my co-op position. I was so grateful to have had the experience I did. My co-op 

position allowed me to expand my resumé and opened doors in the professional 

industry that I never thought would be open to me.”
