“Osborne Holdings was a great learning experience. Not only did I learn how to transfer my academic skills to the non-academic world, but I also saw the different career options my degree offered. Your degree does not define your career or path, you choose that for yourself. It was truly comforting to know that I could use my skills in another environment and society.”

The hands-on techniques were a valuable experience; however, the personal advice from therapists made the experience so much more.

I felt that the four months really prepared me to see and feel what it was like to work at a clinic and if this career path were really meant for me.”
