How strongly would you say your education has positioned you in your career?

"I earned a degree in Business Management from Strayer University and a PMP Certificate from the Project Management Institute. The biggest takeaways from my education, aside from my degree and certification, are the multitasking skills I picked up, being able to function highly while working on complex projects and being able to anticipate the needs of my superiors. I also bring fifteen solid years of experience in the industry. My attitude informs my development, however. I am one of those who has an insatiable curiosity, and every answer to each question just creates more questions that need answering. So, I am very interested in continuing my education and learning everything I can while on the job. That is one of the things that really lured me into pursuing a career with Teck, the many developmental opportunities they create for their people."
