As we wave good-bye to 2023, AMA Toronto is starting to prepare for a jam-packed 2024.Â
November 17
AMA Toronto meets Ontario college students in Blue Mountain
Over the past few years, we’ve struck mutually beneficial partnerships with Seneca and George Brown. A number of AMA’s current and past senior volunteers now teach at colleges. And Miglena Nikolova and Syed Zahidi have been instrumental in outreach to various colleges and universities.
On November 17th, AMA Toronto was a sponsor at the Ontario Colleges Marketing Competition and a participant at the event. We hosted a booth and offered 5 Career Accelerator scholarships as prizes. Miglena was a competition judge and Syed was a practice judge. Two of our Rockstar volunteers, Akshay Subramamiam Raju and Prem Kailash fielded questions from students at the booth.
Congratulations to AMA’s partner Seneca Polytechnic who won the overall competition for the second year in a row!
