Co-Ed Program @ University of Waterloo
02/15/22 • 56 min
Howdy ya'll from Austin, Texas! Marco Yim navigated his academic career through a Co-Education program at University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. He received a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Arts in Business and Legal Studies. Marco talks about what a co-ed program is and how it gave him an upper hand in the job market after graduation. I honestly don't know why this type of program isn't the norm in the United States, but perhaps having this conversation is necessary for the career advancement of tomorrow's students. Marco developed Extempra to help job applicants improve their communication and public speaking skills for interviewing in today's competitive world. You can also listen to his podcast Extemporaneously to get help with tips on improving communication skills. You can also find Marco on Twitter @extempra
