Credentials Your four years of UTMM reward you with extra

résumé-worthy bona fides. Simply put, it’s More Ed Cred!

For example, you can graduate with your Business

Degree plus earn UTMM’s Certificate in E�ective Business Practices & Leadership Skills. Major bonuses of

this certificate are a 4-month paid work placement

starting in May, and an earned notation on your

transcript. Perhaps even more valuable, you apply your

in-class learning in the workplaces of some of the

country’s biggest brands. Establish useful industry

connections outside the classroom and into the

boardroom. Your work placement integrates seamlessly

into the program. With coaching and support throughout,

you continually conduct focused academic reflections

about the experience as part of your review classes. All

the while, you’re working towards your Poster

presentation summarizing the experience. No additional

years of schooling are required for you to graduate with

this extra certificate. (Small wonder space is limited.) You

apply in second year, work in your final year, then

graduate at the same time as all your friends, only ahead!

Fourth-year students can apply for MGT 480, UTMM’s

popular Internship Course. Another example of More

Ed Cred, MGT 480 structures a credit course around

an unpaid internship. Starting in January, you

work/learn one day each week onsite at a private or

public sector organization. This immersive experience

lets you test and apply your years of in-class learning

while developing practical skills and training.

Participating students receive coaching and support

from UTMM while making valuable contacts off

campus. A fully graded course, the internship includes

three class meetings and concludes with your final

presentation, summarizing all you’ve learned over the

4 months.

Establish useful industry connections outside the

classroom and into the boardroom.

CommunityAt UTMM, you’re more than a number. You enjoy all the advantages of the larger university while

“… a fantastic experience....

Incorporating the internship within a

university course and combining it with

a set of deliverables not only motivates

students but also adds structure … of

the almost 20 participants over the

years the overwhelming majority have

found permanent work opportunities

with some of the leading banks,

institutional investors, and investment

and consulting firms in Canada.

Resources … provided the students

with … a better understanding of the

culture of working in a human

resource related field within a hospital

... We are grateful for their dedicated

work efforts and contributions.

Focused reflection exercises, an integral part of the

work experience, connect the theory you’ve been

studying and work you’re doing. You work through

modules on your schedule, gradually assemble a

cumulative report and deliver a poster presentation.

Get Career Guidance with coaching and support. These

vital services help you plan your path. Use job search

tools to transition from your studies to your career.

How your work placement fits your schedule. You

attend a virtual info session in early September to

apply for jobs by early October. You interview

internally, then with employers throughout October

and November. Your four-month internship begins in

January. Throughout that period of employment, you

remain in touch regularly: three class meetings and one

more onsite are built into the schedule. Your poster

presentation occurs in late March, just before you

complete your final work hours.

Open to all UTMM students, the Professional Skills Development Program (PSDP) earns a notation on

your transcript by enhancing key skills and increasing

your employability. Learn to build relationships,

research industries, search for jobs, discover and

develop your greatest strengths. With multiple

opportunities, you complement your learning outside

the classroom, building confidence with these skills.

PSDP is especially valued by those looking to explore

and achieve, then graduate ahead.
