A rising positive attitude amongst students, and others in education, is crafting courses and programmes with a stronger focus on employment after graduation. From liaisons with industry leaders, case studies, andwork experience, the Toronto School of Management is a leader in this change of perspective. It is crafting courses that equip students with specialist skills and industry-relevant knowledge to best prepare them for their desired careers. The Toronto School of Management (TSoM) is a forward-thinking post-secondary institution that educates ambitious people to advance their careers. This is a strategy spearheaded and supported by human and business development coach Bernardo Riveros feels very strongly about. In line with Bernardo’s vision, in his position as Director of International Strategy, TSoM offers a variety of diploma programs in business, hospitality and tourism, data analytics, cybersecurity, and digital marketing, among others, and it collaborates with over 130 employers across the country. TSoM works to connect companies from across Canada with its talented alums and student population, who are provided up-to-date and industry-relevant knowledge. Most of its programs are structured with a co-op component so its students can have a unique experience in their chosen fields when they graduate. This often translates into eager students and alum ready to gain practical on-the-job experience for part-time or full-time employment or co-op placements. TSoM recognises the importance of real workplace experience, just like many employers do today. It works tirelessly to provide students with the proper academic excellence, practical hands-on experiences and relevant programs to ensure its students meet the demands of the ever-changing job market. Its programs are designed to prepare graduates with the educational fundamentals that will organise them in thinking analytically, communicate effectively, and advance professionally and personally. This stems from Bernardo’s observations of the development of entrepreneurs, professionals and – of course – students he has worked with over the years. He observed that those who acquire these skills would have a gateway to better opportunities to achieve their goal. The fundamental knowledge and deep communications skills directly correlated to gaining higher positions within organisations. Thus, setting up programs to develop skills that translate to professional and business success was the main priority for TSoM. Its co-op programs are designed to allow students to develop their abilities, identify their strengths and shortcomings, make adjustments, and present their best selves. It encourages students to pick a career path they are passionate about, make the necessary inroads to get hired, and realise their academic and professional dreams. Additionally, this component offers students tangible, real-world experience. This is because TSoM leverages its work and relationships with industry leaders to design and deliver innovative and careercentric programs that are as accurate to the real world as possible. The support it provides – and the skills its students develop – are directly transferable to their future careers. TSoM continues building strong collaborative relationships between its institution and industry partners and continuously improving the student learning experience. This approach ensures that its students are adequately prepared and that trained graduates are ready to meet the ever-changing job market needs. In addition, there is a continual investment in its faculty to ensure they deliver the highest quality of education and use the full extent of their expertise to help students achieve their full potential. The Toronto School of Management’s priority of preparing students for the workplace has produced wonders. The school’s strategy has been a resounding, encouraging step in the right direction for itself and the market. Everyone involved – especially the mastermind, Bernardo Riveros – should take pride in all they have done thus far with outfitting students to take the business world by storm.
