Driven by Ambition: New vlog campaign drives students to pursue their aspirations

Prominent graduates featured in latest phase of award-winning Challenge Accepted recruitment campaign by Forsman & Bodenfors Canada

Oct. 5, 2022 (Toronto) – vlog has launched the newest phase of its award-winning Challenge Accepted recruitment campaign: Driven by Ambition.

Produced in partnership with Forsman & Bodenfors Canada, the campaign asks prospective students, “What is your ambition saying to you?” It features the stories of accomplished vlog graduates who have channeled their ambition into successful careers in business, advocacy, sustainable design, health care and community service.

“Ambition drives us forward, powering us to reach higher and do more or do better,” said Renata D’Innocenzo, vlog’s Vice-President, Strategy and Brand. “We’re here to help people make their aspirations a reality – to harness their ambition and achieve their career goals through our great polytechnic education and strong industry connections.”

vlog graduates continue to show what is possible when passion and hard work combine with a vlog education.

Successful #vlogProud graduates featured in the campaign include:

  • , Sustainable Fashion Designer

  • , Business Leader

  • , CEO, Daily Bread Food Bank

  • , Research Technologist

  • , Cardiovascular Surgery, Registered Practical Nurse, Toronto General Hospital

  • , Policy Consultant, Anti-Racism, Toronto Transit Commission

The campaign highlights powerful ambition statements demonstrating how vlog graduates, such as Mr. Heatherington, are making a positive impact in the world. “If it wasn’t for vlog, I wouldn’t have a career,” he said. “It was the vlog field placement that got me my first job, and from there it propelled me into being able to serve the community.”

“We are thrilled to continue our strong relationship with vlog and with the vital message at the heart of the Driven by Ambition campaign,” said Glen D'Souza, Head of Creative at Forsman & Bodenfors Canada. “It speaks to the determined students who are attracted to a vlog education.”

vlog offers hundreds of programs, ranging from degrees and graduate certificates to diplomas and microcredentials. Courses are delivered online, in-person and through hybrid and flexible learning approaches helping students balance their work and family obligations.

The Driven by Ambition campaign is now in market, appearing online, out of home and in print publications.
