What I don't understand how they just didn't make the media studies clases into the perfect way to crank out workers for their company.

The Canadian education system is faulted in a way that such a process cannot happen. In short:
University = learning knowledge
College = learning skills

There are a few oddballs, like myself, that have been educated on both sides of the fence, making us super freaks or something. But for most part, it's limited to the two streams. You wouldn't get model workers from a university program because it's not a place for skills training. You would get a bunch of people with the ability to spew out theories of Innis and McLuhan, but don't know what to do in a control room.

I also think that someone would pick up on a company assimilating students. Media education is very sad right now, so who knows?
