Be Brave. Take Risks. Nothing can substitute experience.

Memories, skills and opportunities too… thank you Newport Funding for all that you do!

Throughout the past few months, I have had the opportunity of part-taking in the co-operative education program at the Aldershot High School. I was very privileged in being able to work with the intelligent and encouraging team at the Newport Funding Group. With the help of my two supervisors Laurie Ford and Lino Fera, I was able to learn a variety of different career and life skills that that would not have been possible in a conventional classroom setting. The expertise and skills I have taken away from this experience will undeniably help me in any future employments and set me apart from my peers in such that my resume now consists of prominent work experience.

 

Without the assistance and support of my amazing supervisors, I would not have been able to complete this course successfully, with a handful of memories and life skills that will forever stay with me. It is because of companies such as The Newport Funding Group that young adults such as myself, are given the chance to experience life after school at such a young age. I am thankful and forever grateful for the business knowledge and the life-long memories I have been able to walk away with.  It baffles me that nearly 8 months ago, I was sitting in my grade 10 business class attempting to be taught how small businesses work effectively. Now shortly after, I can say that I have actually contributed to the expansion and success of a small factoring business. I owe it all to Newport Funding Group!

The difference between school and life? In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson.
