Student profile
Jonathan Arsenault, a fourth year DeGroote Commerce student, was one of 32 university students chosen from more than 450 applicants to participate in Impact Apprentice 2007, a national business contest that was held in Vancouver.
Arsenault's team won the competition, which was modeled after the popular TV show hosted by Donald Trump. Teams competed in a variety of business challenges in sales, consulting, advertising and management.
"The event was amazing and it is the exact opportunity any student should consider if they are looking to extend their learning past the classroom walls and apply them to the real world," says Arsenault.
