Learner goals and capabilities

George Brown College’s Graphic Design Program (G102) offers a unique opportunity for 3rd-year students to collaborate with industry professionals on real-world projects. These learners are building foundational skills in design, typography, and multimedia applications while aiming to specialize in areas such as corporate identity, web design, and advertising. This collaboration will not only enhance their practical experience but also allow employers to tap into fresh, innovative perspectives that can benefit their projects.


Expectations from the Employer: Employers are expected to maintain regular communication with students, provide clear guidance, and share all necessary information pertinent to the project. They should be virtually present during the final presentation and provide constructive feedback to the student teams via the Riipen platform.
