Building Confidence and Skills: An Alumna's Journey to Career Success

Gilmei Dionio, a graduate of the Business - Marketing program, is already making waves in the industry. Reflecting on her time at Humber Polytechnic, Gilmei describes it as an experience that not only provided her with job-ready skills but also helped her build the confidence to step into the marketing field immediately after graduation.

Through a hands-on learning approach, Gilmei gained valuable experience in market research, digital marketing, and campaign development—key skills that have proven essential in her career. She credits the program’s dedicated faculty for their continuous support, making her learning journey both enriching and rewarding.

One of the highlights of her time at Humber was the opportunity to gain real-world industry experience through an internship. This hands-on exposure helped her transition seamlessly into her career. Just one month after graduation, Gilmei secured a role as a Junior Marketing Coordinator at Urbacon, a leading real estate development and construction management firm. In her role, she assists with marketing initiatives, brand communications, and content creation, helping to promote Urbacon’s projects and services.

Now, Gilmei is applying the skills she developed in a fast-paced, professional setting. “I’m grateful for everything I learned and for the people I met along the way. Without Humber, I wouldn’t be where I am today,” she says.

Her advice to current students? “Get involved—join that club, take that class, and make the most of your time in college!”
