Program details

Overview

“The PBS program provided me with a strong foundation in various areas of business. The aspect I enjoyed most was the diversity of courses such as public speaking and accounting, which allowed me to develop a well-rounded skill set. I also appreciated the supportive learning environment and hands-on experiences, as it made my transition to Seneca smooth and helped me determine the right path for my career.”
