Algonquin College was the first educational institute where I actually enjoyed attending – and participating. The projects were challenging, but the staff helped me through every step of the way. They created a comfortable environment with a support system that made me want to apply myself and succeed – from my first day at the college until even now, 3 years after graduating. The best part about the staff, in my opinion, was hearing about their years of experience in their field; they were able to provide real life experiences and examples in the classroom. The Business Marketing Program also provided different learning opportunities outside of the classroom. I participated in Marketing Competitions that allowed me to network and learn from other marketing students across Ontario and Quebec. I heard from and networked with various guest speakers that came to the college. I got to meet with different Ottawa companies, visit their facilities and sit in real meetings when developing class projects. I even got to do mock interviews with real recruiters just before graduating. I strongly believe that I wouldn’t be where I am today if I had not considered attending Algonquin College. I have recommended the program countless times to friends who are also now in related fields, and I will continue to do so.
