team showing their support

“I learned a lot of business skills such as time management, project management, working as a team, networking, workplace etiquette, and the most important one to me was public speaking.  I appreciated the early exposure to a corporate workplace. I was able to build on what I learned at Mizuho into my college internship here at CIBC.”
