SAIT is a post-secondary institution focusing on applied education innovation and student success. It is an innovative institution committed to changing the world for the better by producing industry-ready graduates set to excel in their chosen fields.

SAIT believes in focusing on providing our students with the skills, experiences and support they need in order to be industry-ready when they graduate. We are building the next generation of makers, shapers and originals who will help to revolutionize modern industry for the better. It’s a heck of a legacy to be involved in!

I am an Academic Chair in the School of Business. I look after a group of specific programs, the staff that teach in them and the students enrolled in them. In line with the ethos of SAIT, I take my role very seriously in terms of ensuring that our graduates are industry-ready, and I do everything I can to help them take their first steps in their dream careers.

I was provided with extensive management coaching that helped me to determine where my strengths lay, and how they could be used to benefit my organization. 

Life changing! I was very unsure of how I could best contribute to SAIT when I starting working with Avnish, and how to communicate my ideas in an effective manner. Avnish helped me work out where to focus my efforts, where I could add value, and most importantly, how to effectively share that with others.

Firstly, I am so much more confident in my abilities. Having someone help me articulate what I wanted to achieve and then develop an action plan to implement really helped me to reach my A game. This helped me be a better manager for my staff, a better employee for my manager, and a better support for my students. The result is that I receive emails and messages from graduates telling me how I made a positive impact on their lives – and what could be better than knowing that someone else is achieving their goals because of you?
