Working with the April 2025 Advance Ontario cohort was an excellent experience. The students brought fresh ideas, strong research capabilities, and real enthusiasm to the table. They tackled a complex project, developing an AI-driven business assessment tool, with professionalism and curiosity. Their ability to collaborate, meet deadlines, and integrate feedback made a real difference. I appreciate the structure provided by Advance Ontario, which made it easy to mentor the students while gaining valuable support for my business.
