As well, the program's graduate hiring rate averages around 90%. For the last four years, with the program's training and networking opportunities, nearly every graduate landed full-time permanent or contract employment in the corporate communications field within six months of graduation.

The core areas of skill development are:

• Writing in journalistic style
• Creating strategic planning documents (communications, fundraising, media and special events plans)
• Managing stakeholder relations (media, employees, target audiences, general public).

In addition to classroom experiences, corporate communications students work with a variety of actual clients to conduct communications research projects, create communications plans, develop fundraising plans and organize special events. All students in the program are encouraged to build on their Sheridan experience by participating in community and industry opportunities including their field placement.

Corporate Communications is a dynamic field with a variety of challenging and interesting career paths including: media relations, special events planning, PR account management, fundraising and internal communications.
