My brother is currently pursuing the Construction Engineering Technician (T161) course from George Brown College. It is a two year course, and an extra year places it into an advanced diploma (T105).
George Brown offers plenty of job opportunities from a variety of construction companies across Canada. The college regularly holds a job fair in which prominent companies like Bird Construction, Aecon, EllisDon, PCL, etc. take part. A large number of alumni from our college work at one or the other of these reputed companies.
All the three colleges offer internships, but according to my brother, George Brown is a better option for the construction management program.
My friend is a graphic designer. He completed his studies in Graphic Designing from Toronto itself. According to him, Sheridan College in Oakville is the best choice for graphic designing courses, followed by George Brown College. Centennial has a dedicated school for this subject.
Seneca and GBC offer graphic designing lectures on PC, while Centennial uses MAC for learning purposes. MAC is more popular among graphic designers because it offers a smoother experience for many design softwares. Even if such softwares have a PC version, they require less keystrokes/steps to complete a task on MAC.
