Horizon Health
Horizon Health had six MBA students as interns in 2023 and it was an incredible experience! They focused on critical projects and met each deliverable with excellence and drive. They sought out opportunities to grow and learn with our team.
Each student brought their authentic self to the work experience and was eager to demonstrate their capacity. As an organization, we hired three of the six students into full time jobs.
I would highly recommend working with University of New Brunswick MBA internship program.

Working remotely, I was exceptionally impressed with the professionalism and dedication of the student as they compiled and analyzed data and provided an in-depth analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats for our revenue generation and provided recommendations for future endeavours that were within the scope of our current capacity.
