The two years with the IPDP has provided me with the skills, network, and fulfillment that I needed to start my career on the right foot. My onboarding experience was above beyond me expectations and from the first day at RBC, I quickly immersed in the vibrant and diverse culture. It was truly special to feel valued for my expertise from day one. The experience of connecting with 3 areas of the bank and an external charity rotation have broadened my views on the social and economic impact that we can make as a financial institution and community partner. The opportunities that the IPDP provided me goes beyond just a job, it has provided me with a future.

Working with an Indigenous non-profit organization is something I will never forget. During my rotation I not only helped my local indigenous youth and community, I had the opportunity to work with, learn about and learn from indigenous cultures all across Canada. In addition to all this I learned valuable work skills that I took back with me to RBC.

During my charity rotation I was able to make a positive impact through my work on the social impact team at RBC. My assignment was to complete a research report on how COVID-19 was affecting various groups of people in Canada, which included looking at Indigenous communities. As this research would be used to inform decisions around donations from the RBC Foundation, I feel I made a great impact.
