Since 1967, Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning has been one of the most successful leaders in postsecondary education in Canada. All of the qualifications on offer at the institution are career-focused, with emphasis on hands-on learning, making it a seamless transition from education to industry as students get a real understanding of what it feels like to be in the workplace.
The College boasts a welcoming, diverse campus community of over 31,000 students that includes more than 6000 international students from 130 different countries. Humber offers bachelor’s degrees, diplomas, and postgraduate certificates in 180 programs on two main campuses in Toronto.
Small class sizes, with tutors and faculty who are experts in their field, mean that students get the individualised attention they need to succeed not only in their degree programme – but in their career too. In fact, 83% of Humber students are employed within 6 months of graduating from their degree.
To help students with their integration into the College, Humber has introduced a buddy programme. This allows first-year students to be matched up with a more senior student mentor that can give them crucial information about Humber, and tips on how to get the most out of their time at the institution.
There are a number of clubs and organisations for students at Humber, including 19 different varsity sport teams – meaning students will always have something to keep them busy outside of their study time. There is also a dedicated careers service, which offers students support in their search for a job with CV reviews, career counselling and its own job portal. The College also offers counselling services, learning workshops and a variety of recreation opportunities for its students.
Downtown Toronto was lit up in Humber blue and gold on January 17, 2018 as the College celebrated the golden anniversary with a concert featuring some of North America's finest musicians.
The iconic TORONTO sign in Nathan Phillips Square and the CN Tower had Humber College pride on full display.
The Humber Hawk helped mark the 50-year milestone by handing out popcorn and posing for photos in the Square. A number of politicians, including Toronto Mayor John Tory and James Maloney, Member of Parliament for Etobicoke-Lakeshore, stopped by to celebrate with the College. #Humber50 trended on Twitter for several hours and the anniversary also received airtime on Breakfast Television, CBC News, CTV News and CP24.
The day was capped off with a jazz concert headlined by Kurt Elling, Rik Emmett, Laila Biali, Rich Brown’s band “rinsethealgorithm”, and Humber’s faculty big band directed by Denny Christianson, featuring Pat LaBarbera and Al Kay.
