Gaining a Competitive Business Advantage and Family of Support – Angeles’ Story

In celebration of our convocation 2023, and the opportunity for us to finally be together and celebrate in person after three years, we asked our graduates to share their Anderson College experience.

Asking, “How has Anderson College changed your life?” prompted over a hundred submissions … this is one of those extraordinary student stories.

We hope this reflection moves you, as it has our Anderson family, and inspires you to ever embrace the career and life you imagine and, truly, deserve.

I am a business owner and had invested in some business opportunities to help me with establishing myself. After some self-reflection, I decided that I needed to have formal training in the field of business. I researched several colleges in Canada so that I could pursue my academic career and experience quality education. Anderson College stood out to me for many reasons, including the fact that they offered lower tuition fees than other private schools, and offered a range of one-year courses.

“The Business Administration program at Anderson is comprehensive and gives me a competitive advantage in today’s ever-changing job market.”

 

The Business Administration program at Anderson is comprehensive and gives me a competitive advantage in today’s ever-changing job market. I enrolled because I want to obtain updated skills to allow me to work in the modern business world and gain specialized skills in global business standards. I am very eager to expand the scope of my knowledge and skill; I want to be multifaceted and discover several avenues where I can excel. After my studies, I hope to be able to negotiate with more investors and business partners, be able to attract more clients, and ensure the quality of goods and services.

The thing I like most about my program is the fact I am obtaining an education in multiple business disciplines and developing a strong foundation in the functional areas of business. I am gaining skills in working under tight timelines, problem-solving, collaboration, teamwork, and continuous learning. I am learning about using computer applications and working in an office environment. I am gaining knowledge and skills in contemporary global concepts, theories, and business practices.

“Anderson College is like my second family and a small community that allows me to encounter new and challenging opportunities to pursue.”

 

My family supported me mentally, physically, and financially throughout the application process and everything went smoothly. I would like to thank Ms. Lidia in the Admission Office, who never failed to guide and enlighten me on every single detail I needed to know, plus the helpdesk that never let a day pass without answering and solving the problems we students encountered.

Anderson College is like my second family and a small community that allows me to encounter new and challenging opportunities to pursue. With Anderson College, our future will be brighter as we always see the sunshine; it is our most steadfast supporter as we face every struggle.
