The City of Toronto Commits to Secure Placements for CDI College Practicum Students
23 Abril 2024 - 6:00AM
CDI College, a leading provider of career-focused education in
Canada, and the City of Toronto have signed a two-year affiliation
agreement to enhance employment prospects for college graduates.
The agreement specifies that the City of Toronto will secure
practicum placements for CDI College students in a relevant work
division/facility managed by the City of Toronto. This will greatly
benefit people seeking career change in the Greater Toronto Area
(GTA).
In total, the agreement covers 15 academic programs, such as CDI
College's Paralegal, Addiction Community Service Worker, Business
Digital Marketing Management, and Supply Chain Management
program.
The agreement provides that, based on the availability of each
division/facility, the City of Toronto secures as many practicum
placements as possible for CDI College students. This way, various
students with different professional interests will receive
valuable real-life job experience before graduating from CDI
College.
The practicum placements are offered to all students of the four
CDI College campuses (Brampton, Mississauga, North York, and
Scarborough) in the GTA. The duration of the practicum placements
varies between 100 to 400 hours, depending on the academic
requirements of the college program.
This strategic partnership emphasizes CDI College's effort to
prepare its students for an increasingly competitive job market so
that the students can launch rewarding careers for which they have
trained. As part of the agreement, CDI College will ensure students
possess the specialized skills and knowledge required to excel in
their practicum placements across various municipal sectors.
"We are absolutely thrilled to solidify our affiliation with the
esteemed City of Toronto and CDI College in Ontario," highlights
CDI College's National Director of Career Services, Saba
Altukmachy. "This partnership begins a transformative journey,
enriching lives through education and paving the way for impactful
professional opportunities. Together, we are not just shaping
futures; we are changing lives."
The City of Toronto echoes this sentiment, expressing enthusiasm
for the opportunities presented by the partnership. "We recognize
the importance of investing in talent development and are excited
to work closely with CDI College to identify and nurture the next
generation of skilled professionals," says a spokesperson at the
City of Toronto.
The first group of CDI College students is expected to
start their practicum placements with the City of Toronto in
September 2024.
