Can anybody comment on job prospects after Alberta MBA?
I ask this because the school is in western Canada, where people say the job opportunities are lower than the ones near Toronto.
Wouldn't McMaster be a better opportunity (keeping Rotman aside)?
I do not mean to question anyone's perspective, I genuinely want to ask people's opinion.
I do not know much about either of the school or jobs, that's why seek people's input here.
Hi. DeGroote (McMasters) is a very good choice not only because of its location but also because of its co-op program. Its co-op program boasts of more than 95% employbility rate because when one graduates from mcmasters co-op program then one is already experienced for a year and that too in the canadian market. This is something which is really liked by the employers. Apart from this, they have a Oscar portal where you upload your resume etc and you gain access to lots of employer partners who have partnerede with McMasters for co-op program. Having said all this, Alberta is no less an option since goodwill value of Alberta is also quite well and there are loads of headoffices located in the Edmonton area. So as such employbility is not much of an issue from alberta as well. Just the 2 minor problems are - one, alberta is way too cold as compared to ontario. Its too North. Way far from Ontario. Two - Like Quebec, the mostly spoken language is French. Also, if you are looking for Alberta district as an option then Haskayne School of business, University of Calgary is also a very good option which boasts of good employbility and enjoys a good rank.
