Can you tell us a bit about yourself?

Sidney: I am currently completing the Corporate Residency MBA program at Dalhousie University. I fell in love with the versatility of Dalhousie’s program – with reduced class sizes, the opportunity to create connections, and the ability to gain real-life experience outside the classroom. It’s through their program that I am now interning with Jonas Software Solutions.

When applying to work for Jonas Software you are applying for the opportunity to work directly with a small tech company, while getting the benefits and perks of working for a large corporation.
