One of the most unique and important aspects of the Bachelor of Innovation degree is that I have been required to work with small business owners. By working with my fellow classmates, we have worked with local clients to help expand on their ideas, improve business, and transform ideas into impact.
Jaxon Engineering and Maintenance
For professional experience in leadership, I have been working full-time since my sophomore year as a software engineer. At Jaxon, I worked my way to prove that I deserved to be hired as an associate engineer after being an intern for just a few months.
Since this promotion, I have become a full-time software engineer working on a contract for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA).
Court’s Customs Ltd.
My partner and I opened up our very own business in fall of 2020. At Court’s Customs Ltd. we strive to provide high-quality clothing items for a fair price. As college students, we both know how difficult it is to look good at a fair price!
In owning and operating this business, we have learned how to manage multiple orders, deal with suppliers, and handle customer complaints. We have also learned the ins and outs of managing finances, taxes, and business expenses. Court’s Customs Ltd. has taught us how difficult yet rewarding owning and operating a business is. This is just one way we have learned to impact the world.
