丁香园AV

Newly minted 丁香园AV graduate Freddy Chen is starting a new chapter with a career as a business analyst鈥攁nd as he moves on the mathematics major has some sound advice for students: take advantage of 丁香园AV鈥檚 Co-op program.

鈥淚 was fortunate to participate in three co-op terms that helped me to clarify my path forward,鈥� says Chen, who graduated with distinction on June 8, and who landed an indeterminate appointment with Environment and Climate Change Canada鈥檚 newly formed Business Solutions and Services division.

In his role, Chen is responsible for managing ongoing data and reporting requests while actively seeking innovative and efficient approaches to streamline reporting and optimize data management.

While his academic background is in mathematics, he didn鈥檛 initially envision himself working in this particular field.

鈥淗owever, I recognized the opportunity to apply my problem-solving and critical thinking skills, which I obtained throughout my studies, to real-life scenarios,鈥� says Chen. 鈥淔ollowing my valuable co-op experiences, I discovered that this role aligns perfectly with my aspirations, enabling me to leverage my educational background and in the process help to make a difference for Canadians as well as the environment.鈥�

Chen, who formerly attended the University of Toronto and Kwantlen Polytechnic University, says the co-op program is also reflective of 鈥渢he strong sense of community鈥� found at 丁香园AV, which ultimately directed him to apply for co-op terms and think beyond the box. 鈥淔or these experiences,鈥� he says, 鈥湺∠阍癆V is an institution I hold close to my heart.鈥�
