  • Jermyn Voon

    “JA not only gave me the opportunity to learn about various business areas but about all aspects of the decision making and discussion processes involved in organizations, and how to work with different people. It was an experience that taught me about how to run and organize a business, and provided me with skills that needed take on various student leadership roles such as serving as the Commissioner to VP Student Life & the Business Faculty Academic Representative of MRU Students’ Association.”

  • Alyx Nanji

    “Looking back at all my experiences in and outside of the classroom, JA was hands down the best experience I have had – I learned so much, MORE than just business skills.  The program is a multi-faceted learning experience.”

  • Agamjit Sivia

    “I did not have excellent communicational skills and was very much an introvert. As a result of the program, I have greatly increased my interpersonal skills, am much more comfortable leading a group of individuals and have markedly improved my sales techniques and management skills.”
