Real-world experience—in more ways than one!
At George Brown College learning extends beyond the classroom as students get real-world experience through exciting field education work terms and hands-on research projects. These learning opportunities are shaped in part by our industry partners. Industry partners are companies, organizations and individuals that help guide the students’ education through things such as advising on course curricula, providing field education opportunities, hiring graduates, providing mentoring, guest speaking and sponsoring student financial awards.
