Hear from our Alumni
"Starting at TELUS as an MDP fundamentally set my career up for success, and created a solid foundation for growth within the company. In addition to the valuable work experience and knowledge gained from the 3 different rotations, the relationships built across the organization during the program are ones I still rely on today."

"When you’re fresh out of school, it's hard to know what you want to do with your career. The MDP Program helped solve that confusion for me. Three different rotations in two years taught me how to learn and adapt quickly, expand my skillset, make meaningful relationships across the business and create amazing friendships. The program showed me my passion for marketing communications and through that I was able to land a job exactly there."

"The Marketing Development Program was exactly what I needed as a new grad trying to figure out my career path. Having a program that facilitated changing roles every 8 months let me explore different areas of marketing and product management, which is how I discovered my passion for building mobile app products. Beyond just marketing skills, I gained experience & perspectives which allowed me to work effectively across different teams & adapt to new environments. I would highly recommend MDP to any new grad looking for a range of experiences at a supportive company!"
