success stories: in their own words

[My Co-op Supervisor's] mentoring is not limited to teaching us and supporting us with regards to things that are relevant to our projects, but he is constantly providing us with advice and resources that help us become better scientists in the general sense. He always makes times for his students and facilitates a learning environment where we are not afraid to ask questions as he takes our scientific opinions seriously regardless of our academic status.

Mohamed S. ,UBC Physics & Astronomy
[My Co-op Supervisor] is super approachable and has a great personality. She encourages and supports me to participate in events that benefit my professional development and career growth. She really encourages me to explore the things that I am passionate about and goes above and beyond in mentoring me, not only for my current job but also preparing me for future academia and industry experiences. I am truly grateful for having her as my mentor.

Chloe Y. ,UBC Centre for Molecular Medicine & Therapeutics
So far, this Co-op has been an invaluable experience and has taught me a lot about the research process and environment that I never would have learned in a classroom. [My employer] fosters a collaborative and positive atmosphere that makes this job more than just a co-op placement; it makes it an excellent opportunity for personal as well as professional growth.

Christine V. , BC Children's Hospital
[My employer] didn't just give me a job to do and leave me be; everything she did made it clear that she cared about my well being and made sure I was maximizing my learning potential.

Benjamin F. , Nexen Energy Ltd.
[Hootsuite] has helped me reach new heights in my career. [My supervisor] always made sure I find enjoyment and meaningful learning in the work that I do. My skills as a full-stack developer have greatly advanced while working at Hootsuite and I owe much of that to [my supervisor].
