Working with Islamic Books & Souvenirs through the Advance Ontario program has been an incredibly positive and enriching experience. The team fostered a supportive environment where learning, growth, and initiative were not only encouraged but valued. I appreciated the balance of independence and guidance — being trusted with real responsibilities like product management, website updates, and coordination, while also having access to mentors who provided meaningful feedback and direction. The workplace culture is collaborative, mission-driven, and grounded in purpose, which made the experience all the more fulfilling. I truly felt that my contributions were making a real impact, and I leave this opportunity feeling more confident, capable, and inspired in my professional journey.
