Overview

The Marketing and Tourism Diploma Program combines a Professional Communication and Marketing diploma
with a Global Tourism diploma to create a dual skill focus, enabling graduates to be very flexible in advancing
their careers.

• The Professional Communication and Marketing (PCM) Diploma introduces students to practical
workplace communication. Areas of focus include product and customer research, writing promotional materials, building relationships with customers, using social media at work, and managing relationships with bosses, coworkers and employees.

 The Global Tourism Diploma (GTD) introduces concepts needed to be a competent member of an
international travel planning team. This program provides a background on tourism service suppliers and their social, cultural and political impact, as well as practical introductions to event planning, tour guiding, tourism promotion and customer service.

Co-op students find work in a tourism-related business once their study term is complete.
