Testimonials and Profiles

“The practical experience gained in the program gave me a firm knowledge base from which to start my career. Years after graduation, course notes and texts are still a valuable information tool in my workplace.”

Kylie McIntyre,
Environmental Management and Assessment
(Graduate Certificate) graduate

“The skills I learned in the program complimented my theoretical knowledge from university perfectly. The transition into my current position was incredibly smooth, and my work displayed a confidence and depth I don’t think it would have shown without my Niagara College experience.”

Sean Baldry,
Environmental Management Assistant,
Siemens VDO Automotive Inc.

“Taking the Environmental Management program was great for me, as I got a job with AMEC Earth and Environmental as soon as I got out. At AMEC I have been doing phase I\II environmental assessments, class EAs, designated substance surveys, project management and more. I have been recommending the program to a lot of people, as it was one of the best educational experiences that I have had.”
