The students were engaged and most gave 100% effort and followed through on commitments and activities. A couple participants could have put in a little more effort on individual tasks, but they did stay engaged in the group discussions and communicated throughout the program with the team lead or myself. The team lead was very strong. He demonstrated good to very good interpersonal business communication and sales skills. One other team member excelled in this area as well. All team members improved their ability to communicate comfortably and meaningfully by the end of the program. They became comfortable making phone calls to business owners and HR directors. Overall, a very good experience and fun to work with young people.

I was very impressed by the two Ryerson Teams who worked on my project and, as I heard through the students, Professor Pokorchak gave them an aggressive and pragmatic approach for working with entrepreneurial ventures and applying their critical thinking skills. I would definitely do another project with Ryerson.
