Enrolling in the Workplace Safety and Prevention program at Seneca Polytechnic’s King Campus was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made—for both my career and personal growth. If you're even remotely considering a future in health and safety, stop thinking and start applying. This program delivers.

The instructors are experienced professionals who don’t just read off PowerPoint slides—they bring real-world scenarios into the classroom and challenge you to think critically about everything from ergonomics and industrial hygiene to risk management and current legislation. The curriculum strikes the perfect balance between academic rigor and hands-on learning. You won't just study safety—you'll start living it.

The King Campus itself? Beautiful. It’s hard to stress out when you’re surrounded by trails, lakes, and wildlife. The peaceful environment gives your brain the space it needs to absorb some very intense subject matter—because make no mistake, this is a challenging program. But it's also incredibly rewarding.

I came in with a passion for prevention and graduated with the tools, confidence, and certifications needed to make a real impact in the field. The networking opportunities, peer support, and access to industry resources were top-notch. I left feeling ready—not just to land a job, but to change the game in workplace safety.

The Acting for Camera and Voice program at Seneca was one of the best things I’ve done in my life. All of the professors are professional actors, are incredible at what they do, and are even more incredible at showing students that they are truly invested in their futures and want them to succeed. The course offers training for a variety of different acting methods and tools including Theatre, Voiceover, Movement, Vocal training, Acting for Film and TV and many more lessons to enrich the minds and souls of any actor. I would highly recommend this program for anyone who wants to get into the acting world.
