ERIKA DELA CRUZ

HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM MANAGEMENT, GRADUATE CERTIFICATE PHILIPPINES

Hospitality and Tourism Management Graduate Certificate student Erika Delacruz chose Niagara College – Toronto for its high standards in education and its faculty of qualified industry experts. “I have never seen myself studying at any other school except NCT,” says Erika.

The community at NCT – a multicultural community representing a wide range of nationalities – provided support and a feeling of family. With NCT’s location in the heart of Toronto, its affordable fees, scholarship opportunities and new facilities, Erika was able to mature into her chosen career with confidence. The education she acquired at NCT was exactly what Erika was looking for to level up and prepare for the working world. “It opened a lot of opportunities for professional growth.” Now, eager to apply all she learned in her time at NCT, Erika has plans to build her own restaurant in the city of Toronto and serve up her passion!
