Work and co-ops

I was able to gain valuable experience working across several areas of the program, ranging from change management to project management. My leaders strongly believed in the development of students, and I left the office every day having learned something new. As my summer term came to an end, my leaders helped to connect me to a position on the Contract Insurance and Bonding team.

When I was a student I worked closely with small business account managers from coast to coast. There wasn’t a typical day for me. Every day, I got to see how exports continue to redefine Canada’s economic prosperity through the eyes of brave small- and medium-sized enterprise owners taking on new opportunities in foreign markets.
