The Financial Services Assistant
Course gave me the training I needed to cover all
aspects of the financial industry from basic computer
skills right up to accounting and economics.
The Saskatoon Business College also gave you the training
to do successful interviews, and they even help you
find a job. Attending the Business College was
an exceptional experience and I recommend it to anyone!

We have hired four SBC
graduates of the Medical Administrative Assistant
program over the past three years, and all have exceeded
our expectations. We have found SBC graduates to have
excellent skills, and each was able to get right to
work in a busy office environment with minimal instruction.
Computer skills, medical terminology and medical typing
skills were very good. We have had nothing but rave
reviews from our faculty and staff about the quality
of work from our SBC graduates. Also, the work ethic
of each of our SBC graduates has been above reproach.

We recently had the pleasure of hiring a Saskatoon
Business College graduate. I am impressed by her level
of enthusiasm and her eagerness to put her new skills
and training to work. We will continue to use SBC
in our recruitment for entry level positions.

Our hiring process has been simplified by being able
to hire from Saskatoon Business College graduates.
Your school has done an excellent job of matching
a student with the position needed to be filled, thus
saving us time by hiring the right individual the
first time. We feel confident that your graduating
students have the skills and knowledge required.

Our past, positive experience with SBC graduates makes
it a natural for us to look at SBC graduates first
when we have positions available.

Saskatoon Business College has consistently provided
our office with exceptional office staff whom we depend
on to run our medical clinic. The college's commitment
to excellence is clearly visible in each and every
trainee. Whenever we have been in need of a new employee,
our first telephone call is to Saskatoon Business
College, who strive to not only effectively train
their students, but to place them in appropriate positions.
In the medical community, the college is the main
source for recruitment.

It has been my great pleasure to have hired numerous
graduates from the Saskatoon Business College over
the past 25 years. We as an organization are delighted
by the personal and professional character of its
graduates. We are also very happy with the job placement,
which exists between our organization and the Saskatoon
Business College.

Our client list is made up of larger
entities in both the private and public sectors. We
use only top quality employees and world class contractors
in our projects and our clients expect this level
of expertise from us at all times.
SBC’s records program has turned out a stream
of knowledgeable, intelligent and highly trained candidates
for future employment in our company. The records
and information management business has increased
in importance over the last few years and conversely,
the ongoing demand will outstrip the supply of trained
employees.
We wish to thank SBC for their diligence and professionalism
in the years that this program has been functioning
for a consistent and skilled approach to this program
and look forward to taking advantage of this pool
of well trained students for some of our future staff
growth.

My experience at the
Saskatoon Business College was a good one. I thoroughly
enjoyed taking the Medical Administrative Assistant
program, and I greatly benefited from the school's
academics and with its involvement and guidance in
my job search.

Adminstrative Assistant, Medical with Honours
I graduated from the Administrative Assistant Core program with honours from Saskatoon Business College. I found a job three days later at Sentinel Life Management.
SBC has prepared me for all types of job tasks at
my work. The staff at SBC was very helpful during
and after my schooling. Thank you.
Shailee Turchenek
Administrative Assistant with Honours
The training and course content was
excellent. The instructors did a wonderful job at
preparing us for the workforce. We did our final practicum
at Sherbrooke Community Centre. I put my application
in while doing my final practicum and was offered
a job upon completion of my course. Things have been
going really well for me and my family. Thank you
very much!
Terry Deptuch
Personal Care Aide Graduate
My overall experience at SBC was nothing short of
awesome. The instructors were helpful, the SRC activities
were fun, and I made some really great friends. After
coming straight from high school to college, June
meant finally closing the books and using my new-found
knowledge to make some money. SBC helped make the
transition from school to the working world easy through
its practical classes and job search assistance. What
advise do I have for current students? It's only as
good as you make it, and always be open to new opportunities.

I was employed immediately after
graduation. Currently, I am employed by the Etomami
Valley Regional Economic Development Authority as
a Project Coordinator. I supervise the region of Hudson
Bay to Preeceville and from Kelvington to Porcupine
Plain. My position with REDA is to coordinate, facilitate,
implement and direct all projects in the region. I
would not have been able to attain this position without
the skills that I learned from the Saskatoon Business
College. I am an advocate for technical programs;
therefore SBC is my absolute referral for anyone interested
in pursuing a business career. Thanks SBC for always
keeping in touch!

I graduated from the Information
Technology Specialist program and decided to take
the optional summer program, Information Technology
Administrator. I applied for a great job opportunity
before I had finished the summer session, got hired
and was working my first day out of school, which
was an amazing feeling. The teaching staff at the
Information Technology program are very dedicated
and committed to your needs as a student. Any time
throughout the year they were willing to take time
out for me to answer my questions, which was great
because computers were something that I didn’t know
a whole lot about before starting this course. Also,
just knowing that my instructors were skilled professionals
was a big plus, as it is difficult to find good education
in the Information Technology field. I would definitely
recommend this course to anyone with an interest in
computers and networking. I really like the fact that
I was out of school in only 12 months, while receiving
an excellent education that was relevant to my occupation.
The teaching staff and administration staff are extremely
helpful in finding employment, which I have to credit
for helping me find my job. Saskatoon Business College
has prepared me in every way for my new career.

I began Saskatoon Business College's (SBC) Software Specialist program then decided to complete the Records Analyst specialty as well. I chose SBC because a friend who operates a computer consulting business in Saskatoon assured me SBC graduates were well trained. Saskatoon Business College had just liased with Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, which was offering a two-year diploma in Records Management (now Office and Records Administration) The credits I had earned at SBC were transferable, and the transition from one school to the other went very smoothly.
Upon returning to Saskatoon after graduation, I contacted SBC regarding job placement and was provided with several good job leads. Within eight weeks of completing NAIT's Record Management diploma, I was employed as an administrative assistant with the City of Saskatoon. This position led to my working as a records technician. Now, after two and half years, I am Corporate Records Manager for the City.
Both SBC and NAIT have contributed
to my success by providing training that is relevant
to employers' needs. I believe the extra year of education
gives me a definite edge over other graduates. Not
a day goes by when I do not use my advanced skills.
The additional training has also had a significant
impact on job satisfaction and salary. I encourage
anyone interested in a more challenging position to
consider NAIT's Office and Records Administration
program.

"When a resume crosses my desk that mentions education received at Saskatoon Business College, it always goes to the top of the list for possible considerations. We have always found that SBC grads are much better prepared professionally in handling basic office procedures. SBC grads also seem to have a stronger work ethic. Another bonus is that SBC grads truly have achieved the grades they receive as I am aware that SBC have high standards and requirements."

"The ITA program was just what I was looking for. There is no other program like it in Saskatoon. The hands-on training provides real world skills that employers are looking for. I was able to enter the workforce knowing that the skills I learned at SBC were relevant in today's job market and in demand by employers."
