In fall 2024, Management Career Services (MCS), the co-op and career services office for students in Dalhousie’s Faculty of Management, reached an incredible milestone of 20,000 business work terms completed by students in the Bachelor of Commerce Co-op, Bachelor of Management Internship, and Corporate Residency MBA programs. Since 1991, these programs have produced a diverse group of alumni who have made significant contributions across industries, and their work-integrated learning experiences have set them up for success in their respective fields.

In Atlantic Canada, no one knows work-integrated learning (WIL) like Dalhousie. And at Dalhousie, no one knows work-integrated learning like the Faculty of Management, with nearly 1,000 paid work terms last year, more than any other Faculty.

Not only is Dalhousie’s Faculty of Management committed to offering a high quantity of work-integrated learning opportunities for the benefit of students – there is also a strong and long-term focus on quality. “The three business programs that Management Career Services serves are the only programs accredited by Co-operative Education and Work-Integrated Learning (CEWIL) Canada at Dalhousie, and they have been consistently accredited since there were graduates from the work-integrated learning component in each program. Only then does a program become eligible for accreditation,” says Robert Wooden, Director of MCS.

CEWIL Canada is the lead organization for work-integrated learning in Canada. It partners with post-secondary institutions, community members, employers, government, and students to champion work-integrated learning. Since 1973, CEWIL Canada members from post-secondary institutions across the country have worked in partnership to develop resources to promote the highest quality of post-secondary work-integrated learning programs.

“We thank Dalhousie for its ongoing leadership in Canadian co-operative education and adherence to the CEWIL Canada criteria and standards of quality,” says Claudia Sperling, Chair of the CEWIL Canada Accreditation Council. “The review team was impressed with many of Dalhousie’s practices, including all three programs reporting a high job securement rate of 94.5% to 100%.”

To meet accreditation requirements, work-integrated learning programs must ensure each work term is a full-time, paid opportunity that is developed in partnership with the employer and approved by the co-operative education program as a suitable learning environment. Students’ progress during their work term is monitored by the co-operative education program and students are assessed by the employer partner as well as by the institution, which includes self-reflection. Self-reflection can facilitate the learner’s understanding of their own knowledge, skills, attributes and contributions to the workplace and enhance learning from the workplace to the classroom setting.

MCS’ Director, Robert Wooden, is the current Past Chair of the CEWIL Accreditation Council of 51 CEWIL Canada Member Institutions with accredited programs, further strengthening MCS’ dedication to the value of accreditation. In 2023, CEWIL Canada renewed and refreshed its accreditation standards for co-operative education programs, which Dalhousie played a role in with Robert as Chair of the review team of the first accreditation application under the new standards. “CEWIL’s new co-operative education standards bring in a focus on Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility as well as a Commitment to Continuous Improvement,” says Wooden. “The review and revision of our standards was exciting and important work that took in feedback from hundreds of Canadian co-op practitioners.”

Work-integrated learning is a strategic priority for Dalhousie University and the Faculty of Management, as evidenced by its strong presence at the institutional, faculty, and program levels and by Dalhousie’s commitment to work-integrated learning in our strategic plan. Management Career Services is not only instrumental in supporting students with career exploration, career development, pre-WIL preparation, and evaluation of their WIL experiences, but they assist organizations large and small achieve their early talent acquisition goals.

Dalhousie University’s Commerce program has been shaping successful careers for over 100 years, and for Susan O’Brien, who was part of the very first cohort to include three mandatory co-ops, having the opportunity to incorporate work-integrated learning into her undergraduate degree was a game-changer. Now, her daughter Grace is experiencing the same opportunity, continuing the family tradition of benefiting from the program’s combination of classroom learning and real-world experience.

Susan, originally from Renforth, New Brunswick, started Dalhousie’s Commerce program in 1991. “The co-op program was a game-changer. It combined classroom learning with real-world work experience, which made everything click and helped me understand how business operates.” Her co-op experiences played a pivotal role in shaping her career. “My first term at an accounting firm made me realize accounting wasn’t for me, saving me a lot of time,” Susan shares. However, it was during her second and third terms with Moosehead Breweries where she discovered her passion for brand management. “I fell in love with marketing,” she recalls. After graduating, Moosehead hired her, marking the start of her successful career in brand management.

Over the years, Susan’s career continued to evolve as she worked in various marketing roles, including time at a Toronto-based advertising agency and later at Campbell Soup Company as Director of Innovation. However, it was an opportunity with Canadian Tire that would define her career. “Canadian Tire was a company I’d always admired growing up,” Susan says. “The chance to work for a 100% Canadian company with strong ties to Canadian values was something I couldn’t pass up.” Nearly 17 years later, Susan is now the Chief Brand & Customer Officer at Canadian Tire, responsible for shaping the company’s brand direction, overseeing customer engagement, and driving marketing initiatives that connect with Canadian consumers. Her work has played a key role in strengthening Canadian Tire’s reputation as a trusted, iconic Canadian brand.

Today, Susan’s daughter Grace is experiencing the same valuable co-op program that shaped her own career. Now in her second year at Dalhousie, Grace is completing her first of three mandatory co-op terms. She echoes her mother’s sentiment about the benefits of the program, and like her mother, Grace quickly realized that accounting wasn’t the right fit for her. “I’m learning which classes will help me in the workplace, just like my mom,” she says. Grace also appreciates Dalhousie’s case-based approach to learning, particularly through a project called Biz Café, where students run a start-up coffee shop. “It was a great way to understand how different aspects of business work,” Grace notes. She also recognizes that even if you don’t land a big-name company for your co-op term, the experience still offers valuable life skills. “It teaches you work ethic, how to navigate a corporate environment, and helps you figure out what you enjoy doing,” she explains.

When asked about the impact Dalhousie has had on her education and career path, Grace proudly says, “Dal is an awesome school, and it sets you up for success. My mom’s career is a perfect example of what can happen when you take full advantage of the opportunities here.”

Dalhousie’s Commerce Co-op program within the Faculty of Management continues to provide students with invaluable learning experiences, equipping them with the tools they need for success. With three mandatory co-op terms integrated into the standard-length four-year program, students get hands-on experience, develop industry connections, and leave Dalhousie prepared for their careers.

“Because co-op is mandatory for all Commerce students, we focus on providing learning that prepares our students to be able to network, conduct their work term job search, and be successful in the workplace from the very start of their four years with us,” says Robert Wooden, Director of Management Career Services, the co-op and career services office for students in the Faculty of Management. “And because co-op is mandatory, many of our employer partners utilize work terms to identify their future leaders. Frequently, students have accepted post-grad employment before they begin their fourth year.”

Whether it’s discovering a passion for a specific industry, developing leadership skills, or building a professional network, the Commerce Co-op program offers an exceptional opportunity to students and is helping to shape the next generation of business leaders.

In fall 2024, Management Career Services reached an incredible milestone of 20,000 business work terms for students in the Bachelor of Commerce Co-op, Bachelor of Management, and Corporate Residency MBA programs. These programs have produced a diverse group of alumni who have made significant contributions across industries.

David Strong (BComm ’96) is the owner of Strong & Associates Chartered Professional Accountants, where he works with a team of 20 people to serve clients in various industries. Prior to launching his own company, David worked at Doane Grant Thornton for nearly 14 years, building a career that began during his co-op there while he was studying at Dalhousie University. His co-ops allowed him to gain essential experience that translated into success while working at Doane Grant Thornton post-graduation, and when operating his own accounting company. David’s education at Dalhousie directed him toward the success he has today. “My time at Dal was really transformative – it was integral to where I am today – and I’m certainly very thankful for that!”

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

In his accounting co-op at Doane Grant Thornton, David initially battled to overcome imposter syndrome to feel like he belonged there. Being a new employee, it was hard not to feel inexperienced, and it made him very aware of any mistakes made. However, he was eventually able to embrace the co-op as a learning opportunity and realized that making mistakes is how you grow. “Once I figured out and accepted the fact that I am not supposed to know all of this right away, and my coworkers were there to help me, it made it much easier.” Completing the rest of the co-op with this mindset allowed him to learn from his colleagues and come out the other side much more confident in his accounting skills.

Learning on the Job 

David’s co-op at Doane Grant Thornton allowed him to gain an understanding of the ins and outs of the tax world. One of his bosses at the time had him complete personal and corporate tax returns by hand, increasing his understanding of the process considerably. David continues to share these lessons with new staff at his own accounting firm today. Gaining this knowledge on work term and then during his full-time career afterwards eased the process of beginning his own company. In 2010, David decided to take charge of his future and embark on his entrepreneurial journey. “I knew there was a lot of opportunity in the market, and I had become very good at business development.” His accounting experience, which began during his Commerce Co-op degree, allowed him to identify an opportunity and successfully launch his own business.

Advice to His First-Year Self

After nearly 30 years of being a full-time professional in the accounting industry, David reflects on his very first year at Dalhousie. Knowing what he knows now, David advises his first-year self to have a higher level of self-confidence. “Having a better awareness that every single person in your classes has insecurities, stresses, struggles of their own, and we all have commonality in that.” Letting self-doubt hold you back only delays progress and prevents you from making the most of valuable learning opportunities.

Building a Professional Network

During his co-ops, David was able to develop a strong professional network that remains influential in his life to this day. “The relationships I formed while working on my co-ops allowed me to obtain employment after graduation – which was of course a big deal.” Securing a full-time role at Doane Grant Thornton following graduation was a direct reflection of the work he put in to build strong relationships with his superiors and colleagues while on co-op. His co-ops gave him the opportunity to develop an awareness of how to cultivate strong relationships in a professional setting, a skill that remains impactful today. Learning how to help others achieve success in the workplace has helped David build and maintain those long-lasting connections.

Michael Joyce (BComm ’03) is Vice President of Sales at Dare Foods Limited, where he and his team deliver on various sales and profit objectives. His long and successful career in sales was launched by the three co-ops he completed at Procter & Gamble during his Commerce Co-op degree at Dalhousie. These work terms allowed him to grow essential skills and develop connections that helped him continue to build his career after graduating. Michael credits his co-op terms with the skill and network development that has helped him succeed. “They gave me the opportunity to develop relationships with mentors at the company who would be instrumental in helping me build my skills and career over many years.”

Launching a Career with Co-ops

During Michael’s degree at Dalhousie, he majored in Marketing Management, initially planning to pursue a career in marketing. However, his co-ops at Procter & Gamble exposed him to the world of sales for the first time and gave him the opportunity to discover his passion for it. “I really enjoyed the challenge that comes with navigating competing interests to find win-win solutions that comes with working in sales.” After finishing his three co-ops with Procter & Gamble, Michael was offered a full-time role following graduation. His work terms gave him the opportunity to get to know the workplace and ensure he enjoyed the work, laying the foundation for a long career with the company.

Building Leadership Skills

Now a seasoned professional in the world of sales, Michael recommends students looking to follow in his footsteps focus on building their resiliency. “In business, there are always problems and being resilient in the face of adversity is a common trait among successful leaders.” Michael’s experience has taught him that resiliency will help you manage the challenges encountered in a dynamic workplace. In addition, becoming more skilled at resolving conflicts will continue to be a beneficial skill as you progress in your career and move up the corporate ladder. As a leader in his role today, Michael continues to develop the resiliency and conflict resolution skills he built during his work terms.

Extra-Curricular Involvement

At Dalhousie, Michael involved himself in various extracurriculars, most notably residence government and the Dalhousie/King’s Debate Society. In his second year, he served as the President of Smith House in Howe Hall. “This gave me the opportunity to build skills collaborating with others to execute events, as well as navigate the inevitable conflicts that come along with group work.” These skills helped Michael succeed during his co-ops and beyond. In addition, his involvement with the Debate Society gave him the opportunity to hone his communication and persuasion skills, both of which remain incredibly relevant in his role in sales today.

Accomplishments During Co-op

During his third co-op at Procter & Gamble, Michael was tasked with getting a new flavour of Sunny Delight onto Real Atlantic Superstore shelves. After working all summer to secure a meeting, he finally secured an opportunity to present his case – and ended up selling two truckloads for the initial launch. This was Michael’s first big sale, and it has stuck with him throughout the years. It gave him the opportunity to learn more about selling business-to-business and to experience analyzing complex data sets to develop solutions for customers. In addition, he was able to practice his persuasive communications skills in a real-world setting. Furthermore, he learned the level of operational discipline it requires to close a sale. Getting practical experience with these skills helped him succeed when he entered the workforce after graduating. “I had the opportunity to practice these skills during my work terms, and I am still practicing them today!”

In fall 2024, Management Career Services reached an incredible milestone of 20,000 business work terms for students in the Bachelor of Commerce Co-op, Bachelor of Management, and Corporate Residency MBA programs. Since 1991, these programs have produced a diverse group of alumni who have made significant contributions across industries, and their work-integrated learning experiences have set them up for success in their respective fields.

The Faculty of Management has been celebrating this milestone throughout the academic year with alumni profiles and events, and earlier this week, Robert Wooden, Director of Management Career Services, and Mike Smit, Dean of the Faculty of Management, paid a visit to High Liner Foods, which was the location of the 20,000^th work term completed in fall 2024.

Boston Foubert, a third-year Commerce Co-op student majoring in Entrepreneurship, completed his second co-op at High Liner Foods as a Purchasing Co-op Student. His supervisor, Sachin Dukhanti, Purchasing Category Specialist at High Liner Foods’ Halifax office, is new to supervising Dalhousie business students; Boston was his first.

“I helped refine an Excel master sheet that tracks the packaging materials and dimensions from each supplier. Not only has this helped me improve my Excel skills, but I’ve also enjoyed being involved in a project that will make life easier for anyone needing our packaging information,” says Boston. “It’s rewarding to contribute meaningful work as a student that remains useful for the company beyond my term.”

Since 2017, High Liner Foods has been bringing Dalhousie business students onto their team in a variety of roles, including purchasing, accounting, and supply chain.

“Thanks to sterling work by Boston on reviewing past invoices that we received from one of our vendors, he found out that this vendor was overcharging us for services rendered and we managed to claw back over $50k as rebates from this vendor,” says Sachin. “I hope this example sums up how mutually beneficial these co-op student programs can be for both parties. Boston received a great grounding into what it takes to work for a corporate company – how to engage with different peers, how to develop his business communication (written and verbal), and how to work in cross-functional teams with people many job grades higher than him (like Directors and VPs). He also figured out instinctively how to develop his ‘personal brand’ in the short amount of time that he was here, because he created great friendships and relationships and was well liked in our team and other functions.”

Boston is returning to High Liner Foods this summer to complete his third co-op with the team. “Our Purchasing Director was very keen to bring him back for another stint with us so that he can help out with more crucial projects,” says Sachin.

“Joining High Liner Foods was one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I think anybody who has the chance to take a position here should do so. There are so many opportunities in a number of different fields and you’ll be able to work with a whole cast of friendly, kind, and eager co-workers who are excited to have you with them,” says Boston.

Gayle Murdoch (BComm ’04, MBA ‘06) is the Senior Vice President of Sales Effectiveness and Performance at Canada Life. She and her team work with independent advisors, offering support on contracts, compensation, as well as providing assistance with digital tools for various business needs. The foundation of her success in this career can be found in her work term experiences during her Commerce Co-op degree at Dalhousie University. Completing three co-ops during her degree allowed her to develop key skills that set her up for professional success. She would not be where she is today without those experiences.  “The best educational decision I’ve ever made was to take the co-op program at Dalhousie.”

Post-Grad Job Search

Completing co-ops as part of her degree gave Gayle a huge advantage when she began searching for her first jobs post-graduation. Having a full year of work experience gave her real-world examples to discuss in interviews, and familiarity with an office environment helped her jump into the corporate world. Being able to combine her classroom lessons with practical experience provided a huge boost when she began searching for her first full-time job after graduating. Without her work terms, Gayle’s career trajectory would not be what it is today. “Of course, the program, the profs and the admin team are amazing – but the work terms really made a difference in my career path.”

Extracurricular Involvement

As a student, Gayle was heavily involved in the Dalhousie Student Union, taking a role in organizing first-year orientation week. Alongside this, she stepped into a leadership role as a co-chair for Shinerama, a fundraising campaign for cystic fibrosis. These experiences helped enrich her time on campus and allowed her to get involved and give back to the Dalhousie community. In addition, Gayle was a board member for a few community organizations on the south shore of Nova Scotia, further enhancing her organizational and planning skills which became valuable when searching for co-ops and eventual full-time jobs. “Leading a big team of volunteers and coordinating logistics gave me experience that I could speak to in interviews and transferrable skills that I continue to use in my career.” Her community and campus involvement helped her develop a strong professional skill set even before gaining any professional work experience.

Lessons Learned on Work Term

Gayle’s co-ops allowed her to gain experience and insights into the business world that remain relevant to this day. During her work term at Murdoch Market Development, a food-related marketing company, she was given the opportunity to pitch marketing strategies and analyze business development techniques. This practical experience helped her quickly learn what leads to success and what doesn’t, and taught her the importance of moving on quickly from failures. In addition, her work terms helped her understand how crucial teamwork is. She learned the importance of being open to feedback and communicating clearly with colleagues. Being able to listen effectively and remain open to learning new things was a critical lesson Gayle learned on work term, allowing her to benefit from a team’s varied experience. “Those lessons will stay with me for the rest of my life, and I expect will continue to be very helpful.”

Continued Learning

As a professional today, Gayle is a huge advocate for continued learning. Following her undergraduate degree in Commerce, she returned to Dalhousie to complete her MBA. In the summer after her first year of graduate school, she worked at the Canadian Consulate in Los Angeles before returning to Halifax and finishing her degree, which she says was an exciting period of her life. Although she completed her MBA directly following her undergraduate degree, Gayle also sees the value in continuing your education even once you join the workforce. “Find ways to ‘go back to school’ every five years to stay fresh and engaged in learning new concepts.” Gayle has taken her own advice and participated in various programs at different educational centres and universities over the years.

In fall 2024, Management Career Services reached an incredible milestone of 20,000 business work terms for students in the Bachelor of Commerce Co-op, Bachelor of Management, and Corporate Residency MBA programs.

Adam Harris (BComm ’01) is the CEO of C-Therm Technologies Ltd., a leading technology company in the field of thermal conductivity measurement. He and his team work with numerous companies to assist in the development and testing of materials for new products. Adam’s success as a business leader in this industry can be traced back to his experience at Dalhousie as a Commerce Co-op student. Completing three co-ops helped Adam stand out when entering the job market post-graduation. “This was a significant advantage when coupled with the strong fundamentals covered throughout the degree.  Practical business experience is so important – now more than ever!”

Advice for Current Students

Having been out of school and participating in the workforce for over twenty years now, Adam is well positioned to offer advice to current students who are starting to think about their post-grad careers. Reflecting on his time at Dalhousie, he recommends students focus on building their professional network, as these connections can have an impact on your life and career for years to come. Recently, he reconnected with a professor who now sits on the advisory board for Adam’s company. “If you are currently enrolled at Dal, take advantage of this opportunity to build your network with both the colleagues from your work terms and world-leading faculty at Dal.” Additionally, Adam implores students to branch out during their work terms and explore different fields. He found his passion in the intersect of business, technology, and science – so he’s a strong supporter of experiencing different industries to find your area of interest!

Impact of Work-Integrated Learning Today

The early days of C-Therm Technologies were not easy, with limited funds and skepticism from other market players. Adam’s work term experience in marketing allowed him to hit the ground running and get involved with the company. “Dal’s co-op program started me off on that long winding road. It provided me early experience in marketing and sales which is where I started in the business.” This experience provided a strong foundation that allowed Adam to help build the company up from the ground and continue the legacy of the original founder. Today, C-Therm Technologies is widely recognized as the global leader in the industry, producing top notch thermal conductivity test equipment. Adam’s co-op experiences paved the way for his success with C-Therm Technologies.

Why Work-Integrated Learning

The benefits of work-integrated learning were made clear to Adam shortly after graduation. “Dal’s work terms provided me with significant differentiation from business grads coming out on the market from other schools.” Being able to stand apart from other new graduates when entering a competitive workforce for the first time is a significant advantage. Additionally, pursuing a degree with work-integrated learning gave Adam access to incredible mentors and engaging marketing work through his co-ops at Travel CUTS. The company gave him the opportunity to tour the region and become skilled at giving marketing presentations. These experiences enriched his degree and made him a more competitive candidate when searching for a position post-graduation.

Skills Gained on Work Term

Adam acknowledges that the trickiest problems in business are typically ‘people problems’. These are the skills that are difficult to learn from a textbook or classroom setting. “Building soft skills – leadership, effective communication, assembling high-performance teams, motivating and aligning teams – these are skills that are forged with experience.” Without practical work experience, learning how to successfully navigate these challenges would be much harder. Adam’s co-ops provided the perfect opportunity to begin building these skills that remain relevant in his work today.

Jason Wong (BComm’12) is the founder and owner of Elutris, a freelance marketing consultancy that builds strategic plans and processes to help clients reach their full potential. His entrepreneurial success can be traced back to the co-op work terms he completed during his time at Dalhousie University. “The things that I remember most about my work terms is just the sheer amount of experience and learning that I got from them.” These lessons learned remain invaluable to him today as a business owner.

Learning on the Job

Completing three co-ops allowed Jason to develop key skills that he would not have been able to perfect solely in a classroom setting. He completed two of his work terms at Make-A-Wish Foundation with a small team of employees, requiring him to wear many hats while on the job. This experience taught Jason how to prioritize different tasks and ensure that the most critical jobs were completed in a timely manner. In addition, the non-profit environment taught him valuable lessons about negotiating with others and motivating donors or other vendors to get involved. When interacting with external business partners, he learned “I need to be able to listen to who they are, what they need, and be able to tailor my pitch to them.” This skill remains applicable today in the operation of his own business.

Co-op Student to Entrepreneur

After his work terms at Make-A-Wish Foundation, Jason completed his third co-op at Scotiabank, providing a diverse array of experiences that remain beneficial in his work as an entrepreneur. In contrast to the grassroots operations of Make-A-Wish, Scotiabank, as a much larger, more formalized company, gave him experience with following processes and protocols that became helpful when setting up his own business’s structure. Getting to experience two vastly different organizations helped him learn the “startup mentality of what it takes to actually run to start a business and the things that need to be done in order to succeed long-term.” He learned how to adapt to the different skills needed on the job and utilise corporate structure and processes to demonstrate his credibility to clients today.

Why Entrepreneurship

After graduation, Jason worked for a few different marketing agencies before deciding to open his own business. Embarking on an entrepreneurial journey is always a risk, but his work term and career experiences helped him feel as prepared as possible before taking the leap. During his degree, Jason learned a lot about collaboration with different groups of people, and how to be the most effective teammate. A huge draw to entrepreneurship for Jason was the diversity of the work available to him. “As an entrepreneur, I don’t do one thing; I do everything. I wear many hats.” He can explore different aspects of the business, playing a key role in marketing, accounting, strategic planning, technology, and other key components of the business.

Job Searching Post-Graduation

In addition to the skills gained while on his work terms, participating in the co-op program allowed Jason to be much better prepared for the post-graduation job search. By searching for three different co-ops, he developed his networking and job search skills to the point where he was confident pursuing connections with industry professionals to secure a post-grad position. “I was comfortable with interviewing, comfortable with networking, comfortable with asking questions and getting to know people.” Networking with working professionals also allowed him to gain a deeper understanding of the types of roles available, developing a better knowledge of various jobs than he would have gained solely in the classroom. Completing the Commerce Co-op program allowed him to practice these networking skills and feel equipped to handle a competitive job search after graduation.
