Work Hard... Play Hard!

Do you know what it means to be considered a “VIP” or an “MVP”?
Have you ever been part of an elite team or group with the best skills around?
Do you thrive off competition and relish the opportunity to compete and challenge the best in business?

Growing up, we are all faced with competition in various sports and activities- some more than others! Many of us you could say are so competitive we motivate ourselves based on our ability to stand-out.  OCMC offers students the opportunity to develop skills that make them shine amongst their peers- skills that provide an edge over the average graduate.

 As a competitive athlete and musician growing-up, the drive to motivate myself through competition was what made me tick.  As an OCMC competitor last year, I can say it was our team’s ability to carry that same drive that inspired our momentous performance.  In the business world today, it's evident that only those who stand-out are given the opportunities to work with strong organizations- and this province-wide competition lets students do just that! By competing in OCMC you can highlight your skills and show today’s business professionals what you have to offer - what a resume builder!

OCMC highlights the reality of business and shows students what it's like to be a part of a cohesive team.  No matter which college you represent, all follow the same rule ... those who work hard... play hard!!  OCMC, although a competition, is also a social experience that you'll never forget.  Parties, prizes, events and fundraisers - you get to experience all sides of business! Getting an expense paid stay for 2 days is fun; it’s even better with over 200 students from across the province - what a party!

Each college participates in their own great social activities- so get online and get in on the buzz! Join us on Facebook and Twitter and tell us how your college makes OCMC fun for you!
