What interests me is the opportunity to experience different areas of the bank and learn various roles instead of being limited to just one position. I like communicating with different teams, asking questions and figuring out my future plans from there."

The charity rotation allowed me to do meaningful work by supporting OneDrop Foundation’s Indigenous strategy and reconciliation best practices. These practices will help the development of WASH (Water Access Sanitation and Hygiene) projects in Canada with a focus on Indigenous communities. This experience has been instrumental in broadening my skills and understanding of impactful philanthropy with diverse context."

The program helped kickstart my career in ways I didn’t fully understand until moving into a full-time position. The ability to wear multiple hats in such a short period of time allowed me to be agile and fostered an ‘always learning’ mindset that is still present today.”
