I have nothing but positive things to say about DHL. Leigh is a creative, inspiring, and highly capable educator and I am always impressed by her dedication to the community and serving students. I would urge any students considering a career in education to consider working with her as an internship with DHL would surely be a rewarding and educational learning experience.

We would like students to help us by creating marketing plan, in addition to content that is aligned with our vision, mission, and sector. We will ensure students have a clear understanding of what these elements are for our organization. Students will be working on a marketing plan for our company to enter into the public library market in the United States, as well as content creation for our social media platforms to promote our services in the Canadian education and public library markets. Time permitting, students would work on other collateral that we can use as go-to marketing tools.
