Coaching & support
“Smith’s EMBA program was the perfect fit to help me grow my education and experience in business, while I lead my First Nation in its economic aspirations. It will challenge you in all ways, with teamwork and rapport being fundamental, just like in any work environment. There are exceptional people in your class sitting next to you with amazing backgrounds, many will become lifelong friends. Immediately after the completion of the program, my career took a sharp trajectory, competing and earning my spot on the national stage as an Indigenous business leader. Propelling a national business organization forward for eight years of exceptional growth may not have been possible without my education from a top tier business program.”
