Experience feedback
TRU provided an exceptional student to AMPED2PLAY. The employee was highly self-motivated, organized, confident in her approach. Her curiosity and creativity are both significant assets in a generation of students we often find waiting for direction on many aspects of the work asked of them. We certainly appreciated her open mind and ability to speak to any topic asked of her, and if she was not aware of an aspect of what we were after, she did her background research so she could speak to a topic in an informed manner. We are presently close to seeing the completed draft of her work and have asked her to continue on with us, as the chance for her to follow through various aspects of her marketing plan will be advantageous to both AMPED2PLAY and the student.
