Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) and Seneca Polytechnic college have signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to expand their current partnership. The agreement will expand current programming between the college and airport in service of connecting current students with career opportunities at YYZ and in the aviation field.
“Strong partnerships between educators and employers help create direct pathways from the classroom to meaningful careers,” said David Agnew, president of Seneca Polytechnic. “By expanding our work with the airport, we will help more students and graduates from our aviation programs and beyond discover the wide range of opportunities available at Toronto Pearson while supporting the workforce needs of one of Canada’s largest employment hubs.”
“As Toronto Pearson advances its robust capital investment program Pearson LIFT to meet forecasted demand, it is important that we create strong pathways from education to employment,” added Karen Mazurkewich, YYZ’s vice president of stakeholder relations and communications. “This collaboration with Seneca Polytechnic will help connect students and jobseekers with employers across the airport ecosystem, creating opportunities to build meaningful, long-term careers.”
