Bell Canada’s breadth provides many career paths

ita Benyahia joined
Bell Canada through
its graduate program
after completing the
electrical engineering
program at École Polytechnique
Montréal.
“My experience at Bell has been
nothing but positive and rewarding,” says Benyahia, now director,
strategic business transformation.
“There’s a strong culture of continuous learning and collaboration.
The company invests heavily in its
people through training, mentorship and opportunities to grow.”

concurs. “My different managers
have always encouraged me to
learn more and to align my career
development with Bell objectives,”
says Giguère Samson, a data
science developer. “Bell is really
great at helping you focus on your
career growth.”
Giguère Samson served a threemonth internship at Bell in the
summer of 2022 while studying
math at Queen’s University in
Kingston, Ont. She joined fulltime after graduating the following September and was enrolled
in the company’s grad program. It
gives new grads an opportunity to
rotate through various business
units over a two- and sometimes
three-year period.
“The program was a very big
plus because, in about a year and
a half, I joined three different
teams,” she says. “I’ve been able
to experience much more than I
would have in a typical first job.”
Benyahia found a career path
she wanted to follow while participating in Bell’s grad program.
“I developed a strong interest in
finance,” she says. “That’s what’s
great about Bell. The company is
committed to providing growth
opportunities for those who are
willing to learn and collaborate.”
She enrolled in an MBA
program offered through the
Université de Montréal’s Haute
Études Commerciales. Bell provided financial assistance as well as
study time. She also took several
related university courses and the
finance team supported her along
the way.
There’s not a day that goes
by that I’m not learning,
whether it’s upskilling or
understanding a different
business unit that I haven’t
had exposure to.

Transformation
Bell Canada supports employees in pursuing outside degrees and certifications, and the company’s internal
Bell U offers further training.
Apart from supporting
employees pursuing outside
degrees or certifications, the
company’s Bell U offers a wideranging suite of training and
educational resources. “Bell is
big on helping with technology
upskilling,” says Benyahia. “My
team and I are getting trained
on new tools that we can use
to automate, make things more
efficient and drive value.”
She adds, “there’s not a
day that goes by that I’m not
learning, whether it’s upskilling
or understanding a different
business unit that I haven’t had
exposure to.”
