Toronto School of Management (TSoM) has been officially recognised and certified by Languages Canada, the premier language training organisation in Canada.

The certification has been awarded to TSoM’s English for Academic Purposes (EAP) programme, designed for students who wish to improve their language level, integrating reading, writing, listening and speaking skills with an academic focus. This accredited programme is taught by experienced Languages Canada certified instructors.

Languages Canada (LC) is an organisation representing the two official languages in the country, English and French. Recognised by the Canadian government and internationally, LC membership is limited to programmes from the public and private sectors.

Ehsan Safdari, President at TSoM, commented: “We are incredibly pleased at receiving our certification for our EAP programme. This is a rewarding indication of the industry’s confidence in our institution. Our students and partners can be confident that TSoM meets the very highest standards of Canadian post-secondary education.”

With this certification, TSoM joins over 200 member organisations who have met LC’s rigorous standards for quality, student admission and services, academic staff and curriculum among others.

“We worked hard to be able to meet these criteria and help us achieve this prestigious designation, and we are confident this would greatly benefit our students as well as our academic partners,” added Mr Safdari.

Toronto School of Management (TSoM) hosted its first-ever Virtual Internship and Job Fair on Thursday 15 July.

With about 400 student registrations and 27 companies present, this event was designed to allow employers and students to connect, network, and learn more about the job market.

27 employers from various industries attended the Virtual Internship and Job Fair. These companies represent fields including hospitality and tourism, digital marketing, business, big data, and cybersecurity.

Irene Lasker, Career Services Manager, said: “During a challenging time amidst the pandemic, this virtual internship and job fair allowed TSoM to bring together students and potential employers. Our students had a great opportunity to network and build valuable contacts relevant to their program and career path, as well as gain a competitive advantage by learning more about the participating companies.”

Through this successful virtual event, the companies were able to increase students’ awareness about their business and industry while recruiting qualified candidates for internships and part/full-time permanent positions to address staffing needs. The employers could also build their roster of candidates for internships, part-time and full-time positions.

The event is part of the institution’s continuous effort to provide students with dedicated career support, helping their transition from the classroom to a working environment. “Despite the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we were able to host our first ever Job Fair, using virtual tools and online platforms to maximise attendance and interaction between participants.

“The virtual job fair was well received by all those in attendance. It was a successful experience, providing useful feedback and learning points that we now plan to implement and develop this initiative into a recurring event,” added Irene.
