My co-op was an invaluable opportunity to demonstrate to tech recruiters at the bank that I have the right attitude and approach to ownership for a fulltime position.

At Hydro One, I have been able to apply my technical skills learned throughout university to make a tangible impact in the energy sector. Joining a corporate environment has not only refined my technical abilities but has also taught me invaluable professional and interpersonal skills. The connections I have made here are just as valuable as the experience itself.
