Working knowledge
of CaseWare CO-OP STUDENTS The
following was written about Annalisa Streicher’s work terms with us in Student combines training with Far North
adventure Traveling
by 12-seater planes to visit clients in remote outposts three hours away and
speaking with dramatic gestures are just a part of doing business for
Annalisa Streicher. The
Co-op Accounting student has recently finished her third work term with the
firm of MacKay Landau Chartered Accountants in Iqaluit (pop. 6,000), the
capital of Hired
by Brock graduate Of
her Co-op experience, she says: “In addition to being exposed to a myriad of
accounting tasks and situations, I am given the opportunity to travel to
parts of Canada I never thought I’d visit, interact daily with people of
fascinating cultures, and learn first hand what I could never learn from a
textbook.” Language,
she says, is sometimes an issue, particularly with older clients who often
speak only Inuktitut. In smaller communities, younger Inuit might only know
enough English to get by. “You
end up using a lot of translators and big gestures and hoping the other
person understands what you are trying to say.” Streicher’s
one-on-one connection to her partners and co-workers has been invaluable, she
says, because of the knowledge, expertise and professional accounting skills
they have passed on to her. She
concludes: “My Co-op experience in the Canadian Far North has fulfilled my
need for adventure, helped to answer my questions about my career choices,
and taught me more about accounting
and myself than I ever thought possible.” Note: Annalisa is still with MacKay Landau. |
