The Professional Management Program

The Professional Management Program (PMP) operates under Bell Mobilitys Marketing division. Marketing evaluates the competitive landscape, identifies profitable market opportunities and optimizes business operations. This helps Bell maintain their position as a market leader in the telecommunications industry. Founded by a Harvard alumnus, the PMP is an innovative voluntary internship that provides substantial professional development, mentorship, real-world experience and the opportunity for growth in a dynamic environment. The programs holistic approach to learning promotes crossfunctional collaboration and individual achievement. Alongside initiatives to understand the telecommunications industry, Associates continually engage in projects aimed at strengthening the program, and ultimately, their development as well-rounded professionals.
