As a recent graduate with a degree in Applied Mathematics, I had the technical skills but not the soft skills or the business acumen required to obtain a job. The Haskayne Master of Management program strengthened my collaboration and communication skills and developed my business knowledge. As a result, I am now working as a Health and Benefits Analyst at Mercer.
