Testimonials

Kai Chen

Master’s Candidate, Ivey Business School

Authentica has been really really good at setting this internship up for us. They were always just a call away. The company they placed us with treated us as equals, not just as interns. We contributed real value to their workforce: an incredible experience not many students get!

Edi Studer

Not only did Authentica align the projects with our backgrounds and goals, but they also managed the relationship between us and the company – all with a great deal of friendliness and care. Thanks to Authentica, we also got the chance to get to know the real India.

Linda Chen

Business analyst at YouGreen Cooperativa

My boss was very detail-oriented and focused on the customer a lot. During a presentation, he would look at the font, the color we chose and asked us to look at it from a customer’s perspective to make sure the message is conveyed, the whole experience helped me grow professionally

 

Charles Dedekam

Senior Associate, Management Consulting at PwC Canada

I was placed in the sustainable real estate sector, in which I had no prior experience. But the toolkit training we received helped us understand the key issues of the project, structure our approach, and develop an effective plan to solve it. Authentica was with us every step of the way!

What kind of mentorship and support is included in the program?
