Four graduate students.
Four different paths.
One shared mission: reshaping Canada's future workforce.
This episode, on Coffee With Convery we're celebrating something special.
CEWIL/ECAIT Canada National Co-op and Work-Integrated Learning Month.
Meet four exceptional graduate students from Northeastern University Toronto.
Each one is navigating the Canadian job market as an innovator and a future leader.
John Justice Abban brings biotechnology expertise from two continents. He’s building a career at the intersection of biotech manufacturing, compliance, and data science.
Rita Aladi is redefining project management. As an ONYX SCHOLARS, she specializes in stakeholder coordination.
Victor Adekunle combines architecture thinking with project management precision. He's mastered both Agile and Waterfall methodologies.
Alexis Hercules is on a mission in biotechnology. She's translating molecular research into real therapeutic impact.
These aren't just students completing requirements.
They're the next generation of professionals who will drive innovation across industries.

Most people are not stuck because they lack talent.
They are stuck because they are hiding.
Hiding their voice.
Hiding their truth.
Hiding who they really are.
Today’s conversation is about what happens when you stop editing yourself and start owning the stage.
My guest is Ava Val. She is a John Candy Award winning comedian, musician, and actress. She has written for This Hour Has 22 Minutes, appeared on Roast Battle Canada, and stunned audiences on Canada's Got Talent with a full sweep of yeses.
She is also the first trans performer to break multiple barriers across Canadian comedy and television.
