“I graduated from Canadore College in 2004. The courses in the program covered sales, on-air, production, copywriting and everything in between. The atmosphere and faculty made for a great learning environment. I worked hard and showed dedication, and when it came to finding a job after graduation, my teachers were there to help. I now work as a copywriter for Rogers Radio in Sudbury,”
