The MACSIM experience
Jasmin Davies - Digital Communications Intern, Western Sports and Recreation
"The best part of pursuing the MACS Internship Module was having the opportunity to participate in hands-on, experiential learning, something that can be hard to find through other traditional university courses. The program allowed me to develop practical workplace skills like interviews, navigating ethical problems, learning how to utilize my strengths, and refining my resume. I was able to practice these skills in a low-stakes environment before entering the workforce, which is something unique about MACSIM."
