OUR STUDENTS

Meet our students Jess (right) Mental Health and Disability Management student My degree gave a solid foundation, but I knew I needed practical skills and workplace experience—the Mental Health and Disability Management graduate certificate checked all the right boxes. There are many opportunities to learn outside of the classroom and get involved in the community. I look forward to applying these skills and help fill gaps that exist in primary health care environments and make a difference in my community.

Sonia (left) Diagnostic Cardiac Sonography student I am relatively new to Canada and had completed my undergraduate studies in my home country. I knew I wanted to get a Canadian credential that would boost my resume and attract potential employers. After extensive research, I discovered many employers that valued hiring a Mohawk graduate due to the excellent training that is embedded within the program curriculum. My program is challenging and brings out the best in me to work hard. I am confident my program is providing the clinical exposure and practice I need to graduate with a highly-employable skill set.
