triOS College Launches New Digital Marketing and Graphic Design Diploma with AI Integration

Toronto, ON – September 2025 – triOS College is proud to announce the launch of its new Digital Marketing and Graphic Design using AI + Internship diploma program. 

This program has been developed in direct response to a growing skills gap in the job market. Employers increasingly need professionals who bring together strategic marketing knowledge and creative design expertise, alongside the ability to confidently apply AI-driven tools. A recent Robert Half study found that 93 percent of hiring managers face challenges finding candidates with the right blend of creativity, technical expertise, and business knowledge. triOS College’s new program addresses this need by preparing students with a dual skillset that is both versatile and future-ready. 

Program highlights include: 

• Dual skillset training: A registered and approved diploma that combines digital marketing and graphic design in one career-focused program. 

• AI-powered learning: Hands-on experience with AI insights for SEO, PPC, analytics, social media, content creation, and emerging design workflows. 

• Industry-recognized tools and certifications: Training with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign), Canva, Google Ads, Google Analytics, and WIX ADI, plus preparation for certifications like Google Ads, Google Analytics, and Meta Blueprint. 

• Portfolio and internship: Students build two professional portfolios—one in digital marketing and one in graphic design—and complete an 8-week internship with an employer, gaining practical experience that strengthens employability. 

• Career-focused courses: Content strategy, advanced design theory, social media, video editing, motion graphics, branding, business and entrepreneurship, and communication for creatives. 

• Fast-track timeline: A 61-week program with career planning and mentorship built into the curriculum. 

Graduates of the program will be prepared for roles such as Graphic Designer, Digital Marketing and Design Specialist, Content Creator, Social Media Designer, and Marketing Coordinator across industries including advertising, corporate marketing, small business, and digital media 

Michelle King-Tracey, Faculty Head for Digital Marketing and Graphic Design and Corporate Brand Manager at triOS Education Group, explained the vision behind the program: 

“The Digital Marketing and Graphic Design program was created in response to what we consistently hear from industry. Employers want professionals who can not only build strong strategies but also bring those strategies to life visually. By combining digital marketing, design, and AI-driven tools into one program, we are preparing graduates with the exact skills that businesses need to stay competitive.” 

With related roles in marketing and design showing steady growth across Canada, and average wages of approximately $35 per hour in Ontario, triOS College’s new program is closely aligned with labour market demands. By combining technical training, portfolio development, and internship experience, the program gives students the foundation to launch their careers in marketing and design, while positioning them to adapt and grow as the industry continues to evolve.
