We are looking for the visionaries, the change-makers, the self-starters who are
seeking more from their career. Change begins with the small decisions we make,
each day, to support each other and strive to create inspiring incredible
educational experiences for all students, no matter where they are or how they
learn. This concept connects deeply to the idea that, in choosing a career with
Yorkville University and Toronto Film School, you will have the opportunity to
push boundaries, flex your creativity and inspire positive change for so many
people. It’s also a call-back to the transformative power of education itself.
Our core values put the student experience at the center of what we do,
reflecting who we are and aspire to be. If you want to shine a light on academic
excellence, be empowered to make an impact on the transformation of the Canadian
post-secondary education landscape, and work collaboratively beyond levels, join
us.
