On April 23, the Toronto Star released an article on helping young Canadians land jobs through preparation and gaining soft skills.
The article profiles alumnus Husam Elzien (Public Relations Graduate Certificate, 2023) who shares his personal experience on seeking job opportunities post graduation and offers advice to those entering the job market such as being yourself and letting your personality shine. Elzien is quoted in the article: “The job market is very competitive.

The article syndicated 66 times across Canadian media outlets.
