The Positives: A Truly Enriching Experience

1. Comprehensive Orientation
York University provided a good orientation session prior to the commencement of my program and it gave a good feel for the rest of the year. The main idea of the orientation was not only educating us but also making us feel we are now part of the extended family. Preparations included a comprehensive presentation of the program’s structure, getting to know the professors and other students. I even made a reel on the orientation day just for the memory, you can watch that too. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2ST9-1LPsN/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

“Canada is the land of dreams and hard work”, this is what I have heard and read since my days in college in India and I have always wanted to come to Canada, become self-dependent and cherish the opportunities Canada has to offer. In the third year of my engineering, I started to look for colleges and universities that offered courses in digital marketing, the reason why I chose marketing was that I am always fascinated by the creativity and power of persuasion that revolves around marketing and how it had become a necessity of every business. So, as I was reading about different courses, the Certificate in Digital and Content Marketing at York University caught my attention. It offered the exact combination of skills and knowledge I wanted to gain, I instantly decided to opt for this certification.
