Here are some of the testimonials or comments from our students about their experience with GENV programs:
“I am working with the territorial government now. Doing housing planning. It’s been an amazing opportunity to travel the north and build relationships with indigenous communities.”

“I have been working at the City of Surrey for eight years. Prior to the City of Surrey, I have held contract positions at the City of Langley and City of Chilliwack. Most of the jobs I have had were in the GIS field right from graduating from TWU in 2007.”
