I believe this combined experience will make me stand out to employers upon graduation." 
  -Consultant at RCG Insight & ITM Major

  "I believe my knowledge and hands-on experience will make me more employable upon graduation. As a student in the ITM program, I learned the benefits of a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software but have never truly understood how it works. Working at RCG Insight, I had the opportunity to lead a team to implement open-source CRM software. This was definitely a great learning experience and will make me stand out when seeking employment."
  -Consultant at RCG Insight & ITM Major

  "During the years I've spent at RCG Insight, I have implemented a Customer Relationship Management solution and a Knowledge Management system, performed IT-related maintenance, and tested and used a variety of collaborative software (groupware). This enhanced working relations between colleagues and allowed us to better serve our customers and manage our operations.

  Using the knowledge I learned in my program, I was able to translate theory into practice and got first hand experience in helping to build a firm and managing IT solutions to help drive business operations.

  I believe this, alongside working experience within different functional areas, have extended my skills and abilities and will give me that edge I need to distinguish myself for employment."
