“We have had the pleasure of hiring two brilliant students over the past 2 years who have performed at an exceptional level. One student has been with us for many work terms and has become a valued member of both our team and the full company. Her high performance level and ability to adapt to all kinds of projects has made her a real asset to our team. The program allows students to really experience a work environment and learn first-hand what it means to work in the real world.”
