Employer Testimonials
“The most talented person cannot match the combined talents of a team working together. Successful teams make for great change and innovation. In the Smith MBA program the ‘teaming’ aspect is built into the curriculum as real-world experiences and it prepares the students for the future of work. Beyond just a project, managing real-world situations with conflict while delivering results and gaining 21st century skills is a competitive edge for Smith MBA students. Collaboration requires leadership and the Smith MBA Program is doing just that by creating leaders who understand the value of diverse skills and diversity of thought to enable the team for great success.”
Brien K. Convery
Director Early Talent Acquisition, RBC
“Smith School of Business continues to be a source of exceptional talent for P&G. Students from Smith continuously display the strong leadership, critical thinking and grit required to be successful in today’s business environment. Many candidates have begun their career at P&G as interns and quickly move into positions of leadership early into their careers. Smith’s Career Advancement Center makes it seamless each year to participate in on-campus recruiting and a variety of events throughout the year, making it easy to keep coming back year after year to meaningfully engage with students.”
Sean Connacher
Senior Account Executive, Procter & Gamble
“Smith students and the career center does not disappoint! I’ve met many students this past year and I’ve always find that they are well-prepared, polished, they’ve researched into our firm and they have a clear idea about their goals. We have the possibility to meet students on campus through info sessions or other events like our ‘Deloitte Days’ and we have nothing but a cooperative attitude from the career center team and a high level of attendance from students. It’s always a pleasure to go on campus to meet students. All our service lines recruit at Queen’s and we are always pleased to have them re-join for additional (internship) terms or New Graduate opportunities.”
