The School of Applied Technology Work Placement Office hosted an Employer Appreciation Breakfast on Friday, October 23. The event was a "thank you" to our many employers who supported our Diploma students during their work placement term.

"Employers do more than provide experience and wages" said Janice Wojcik, Manager of Work Placement Services. "For many of our students, the work term is their first opportunity to work in their field of study and realize the possibilities that await. Providing students with a positive vision of their future is invaluable, and we are deeply grateful to our employers for being such great mentors and coaches."

Welcoming remarks were also provided by Denise Devlin-Li, Dean of Applied Technology and the Associate Deans, and, employers had the opportunity to meet all the Diploma Program Coordinators. The highlight of the event was hearing from two students who shared their work term experiences and thanked the employers on behalf of all the School's work placement students.

Overall, the event was a great success. Employers in attendance included 407 East Construction/SNC Lavalin Partnership, Black and McDonald, Club Coffee, D&V Electronics, Energy@Work, Gordon R. Williams Corp, Hatch Mott Macdonald, Home Depot of Canada, MHPM Project Managers, Multimatic Inc, Mytox/Div Magna, PCL Constructors, Soheil Mosun, Toronto Hydro, Union Lighting and York Regional Police.
