This one-year certificate, delivered entirely online, combines agricultural knowledge with professional communications training. Described by the college as the first program of its kind in Canada, it teaches students to write, produce and manage communications for the agriculture and agri-food sector. Coursework covers professional and technical writing, marketing, multimedia production including videography and audio, public relations, and crisis communications strategy. The asynchronous online format allows students to complete coursework on a flexible schedule, and the program includes work-integrated learning through projects with industry partners.
