That focus is the value of Polytechnic's education. It's being on a first-name basis with the president of the university. You're not going to find that everywhere, but you will find it at Polytechnic. There's a lot more to being prepared for the working world than knowing your subject matter. Being able to work well on a team is a good example.
Every company wants people who can work together.
At Polytechnic, we always worked in terms, on projects, in labs, even studying together. Looking back on it, going to Polytechnic was the best decision I've ever made. I learned real business sense at the University. Coupled with my academic work, this made me a well rounded person who could appeal to employers. That's why I was able to land such a good job.
