Growing up, Daniel Purcell used to stop by in Fredericton as he traveled from his home in Ontario to his parents’ home province of Nova Scotia. Today, the MBA graduate from the University of New Brunswick Fredericton is in the provincial capital full-time, helping software company 3D Planeta grow.
After graduating from UNB’s MBA program with a concentration in entrepreneurship in April, Purcell started work right away as a business development analyst at the software company.
He says the experiential learning components of the MBA program helped him make the transition from school to work easily.
“Having an experiential learning program where you’re working with real companies, with real money, means you’re getting experience before you actually get work.”
“Being in Fredericton where there are lots of start-ups, I got exposed to several ideas and how businesses grow. And I got pretty interested immediately,” he said. “[The MBA program] was a great networking opportunity meeting different people in all different sectors, and it helped me shape a direction I wanted to go in.”
