Details

Field Placement is an integral part of the George Brown College's Financial Services Marketing Program. We would like student teams to spend 13 weeks with an employer, beginning in mid-late Sept, conducting various marketing tasks. Students are studying financial services marketing, so the ideal fit would include CRM/database/personalized marketing within the Financial Services sector. The goal of the placement is to expose students to Marketing in the workplace and continue developing their skills.

Students are available for 20 hours per week of placement starting in September.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, student placements will only occur virtually.
