Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently, participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

Alexis Levenson

“While completing my Bachelor of Arts at Western University, I decided to consider a career in event marketing. George Brown offered the perfect one-year program for me. My co-op placement as a sponsorship assistant at the City of Toronto Special Events was the ideal setting to apply the theory I had learned in class. I was given special projects to work on immediately and was able to adapt quickly and contribute to the fast-paced workplace, thanks to George Brown.”
