Work Experience during the DeGroote MBA (Co-op or Summer Internship)
Why DeGroote?
Coming straight from an undergraduate degree, it promised me viable work experience and networking opportunities I couldn’t find elsewhere. Additionally, the school’s strong emphasis on experiential learning through its co-op program meant that I could gain valuable industry experience while still studying. DeGroote’s diverse range of specializations allowed me to tailor my MBA to my interests and career goals. The school’s reputation for fostering a collaborative and supportive learning environment was also a significant factor in my decision. I knew that at DeGroote, I would not only gain a top-tier education but also be part of a vibrant community that encourages personal and professional growth.
What piece of advice would you give to anyone considering doing their MBA at DeGroote?
My advice would be to actively engage in all the opportunities DeGroote offers, from networking events to case competitions and co-op placements. Take full advantage of the resources available, such as career services and mentorship programs. Building relationships with peers, professors, and industry professionals is invaluable. Be open to learning and embrace the challenges, as they will significantly contribute to your personal and professional growth.
