The Professional Communication and Marketing (PCM) Diploma with Co-op introduces students to practical skills of workplace communication using the communicative approach. Areas of focus will 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. Students are required to do independent activities, graded assignments and/or exams for each course; each student will work on individual as well as group projects. Co-op students find work in marketing and communications-related jobs once their study term is complete.
The Professional Communication and Marketing (PCM) Diploma with Co-op will get you working in Canada. You will gain knowledge and skills that you can apply in your co-op work and then your career.
You can choose to include LCC’s Business Diploma Program (BDP) as part of this Co-op program. The Business Diploma program will provide you with information about Canadian workplace practices, and support you to create a Canadian-style resume.
During your study term, you will complete the required coursework for the PCM Diploma. You will also take elective courses to improve your English language skills and competencies.
During your work term, you will find a communications or marketing-related job. LCC offers free job support services to help co-op students find work.
The number of hours you work will be the same as (not more than) the number of hours in your study term.
In this tutorial, you will review the strengths and weaknesses you noticed during your co-op, and formulate your future career plans.
