Neverblue, a Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce member, is a strong supporter of co-operative education. The company has hired both engineering and business students to assist on both sides of the business, which specializes in bringing advertisers and clients together through unique lead generation.

As a member of the tech team, Anubhav is responsible for speaking with customers to identify technical issues like pixel problems and software bugs. He then has the opportunity to fix these same bugs and help improve product development. 

“Every day has been different and the tech team has been amazing,” says Anubhav. “I’ve learned so much about software management, how to document my work and how to present my ideas to the team. I’ve definitely learned things that I couldn’t learn in the classroom.”

Software Development Manager Derek Sorgard was excited to welcome Anubhav to the team. “Students like Mishra bring value to the team and help us connect with our customers,” he says. “They bring a wealth of experience as well as enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. It’s a positive experience for the company as well as for the co-op student.”

Even though co-op work terms are mandatory for his engineering degree, Mishra says that he would gladly choose to do co-op terms if they were optional. “Neverblue has given me an edge that I can take forward as I develop my career,” he says. “They’ve played a big role in my education.”
