In the first semester, you will learn about prospecting, modern sales technology, speaking with clients, the sales process and virtual selling. In the second semester, you will develop skills related to inside sales, technology and analytics, communication strategies and B2B marketing.

You will have the choice to study on campus or online. In addition, an optional work term will provide an opportunity to get experience with a company and build professional contacts ahead of your graduation.

Work Experience

Optional Work Term

This program offers the option to complete a work term, providing valuable hands-on experience in your field of study. Students interested in completing a work term should apply to the PROGRAMNAME ±è°ù´Ç²µ°ù²¹³¾.​

Students who select the work term stream will have the opportunity to participate in a work term(s) if eligibility requirements are maintained. Students will have the flexibility to transfer to the non-work term stream at any time. The work term(s) is similar in length to an academic semester and is typically a full-time position that may be paid or unpaid. The work term job search is student-driven and participation in the work term stream does not guarantee that a work position will be secured. However, students will receive guidance and support through in-class career workshops and one-on-one coaching to help prepare for the work term.
