My return to the team could not have been any better as I worked on a project I am interested in. I gained a lot of skills and knowledge from this experience and I am sure to utilize my experience in my future career.
The CEL Support team has given me more relevant and important projects as well as an opportunity to lead these important projects. The team has helped align projects that meet my goals and I would say that this work term has been better than the last.
Overall, this work opportunity is a wonderful experience since I really learned a lot, vary from technical skills to interpersonal skills. All colleagues in the CEL System Team are energetic and enthusiastic to help me get involved in the new projects. I would recommend to all coop students that CEL is a good place to develop your both hard and soft skills.
