Toronto ad fish 🤠 I’ve spent most of my career working as a copywriter in London (6 years here, 2 years Toronto) and the market is pretty different here. I’m planning on moving back home but wondered….how do you find work in Toronto? Agencies barely post openings, is the recruiter scene strong? Is it mostly who you know?

My two cents as I've taught in the college system:
1) restructuring the college system that is limited to diplomas and certificates to a system that offers degrees is both a move to shed the "stigma" of a lower education (even though it's not true) and to get more money/funding from the government as every school is experiencing a crisis after the (awful) exodus of international students (that the fed and provincial governments absolutely could have handled better). Part semantics for marketing, part strategy to get more money to recoup enrollment losses.
2) more donations from high profile donors tend to go to schools with degree programs over diplomas, again because of skewed views that a degree is better than a diploma.
The irony of it all: the best hires I've made/worked with came from the college system and I've enjoyed teaching college more than university. I especially say this as a university grad.
Thank you for saying this before I could. After moving from the advertising industry into the post-secondary space, you nailed every point I was about to make.
As a Humber grad, I couldn’t care less.
Yeah colleges don’t really hinder a hire. It’s your book and personality for creatives.
College has a reputation of being a worse version of university, this makes it sound more technical/different I guess?
