News Archives: Sarah Bateman: Valuable Connections
Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023
Sarah Bateman will be the first to tell you she owes her current success to the Business Administration's Work Integrated Learning program at Northwestern Polytechnic.
Before she enrolled in the program, Bateman had yet to learn what career opportunities were available for someone with a business background. Once she began learning and forming valuable connections, she quickly realized how much potential was available to her.
“It set me up for success by teaching me real-life business skills and put me on a great path for my career. NWP has such a great sense of community,” said Bateman. “I really enjoyed my time there and the friends I made. I have such pride for the institution and greatly respect all my instructors.”
Today, Bateman is flourishing as a Business Development Officer at Community Futures Grande Prairie and Region. She has put into practice all the skills and knowledge she gained during her work integrated learning experience. She credits NWP with giving her the tools necessary to thrive professionally, saying that without it, she would never have been prepared for this role or made such crucial connections within the business world.
Sarah finished her Bachelor of Business Administration degree through the collaborative program with SAIT.
