Therapeutic Recreation professor Went from working in the biopharmaceutical industry to the classrooms at Seneca Fashion Arts professor Toronto-based Canadian fashion designer and student mentor

• The mainstay of our offerings: two and three year diplomas to train

technicians, technologists, mid-level managers and service providers

• This is the level that is neglected in most countries, leading to systemic

unemployment and lack of productivity

• In Canada, we have 7-8 technicians and technologists for every engineer.

In most other countries, it is the opposite. Too heavily focused on the university route

Two and Three year Diploma

• Average of 85% of our graduates obtain employment within 3 months of
