What is Fit for Business?

Fit for Business (FFB) is a globally recognized Salesforce award-winning (opens in new window)  transition program designed exclusively for first-year Ted Rogers School of Management students. This program empowers students with a community and a path to achieve academic, career and personal success. Enabling engagement outside the classroom creates more collaborative, resilient and innovative students that are better equipped for the business world.

Transforming the first-year experience, students transition into Ted Rogers School with a higher sense of community, knowledge and confidence to access and participate in the right services, resources and events for success.

Learn more about how Fit for Business works to help first-year students get connected, stay informed and become engaged.

🌎 Get Connected

Building a community is highly important for first-year students who are just starting their university experience, not just with the school and the supports but also with one another.                                               

TedPacks 

Students have the opportunity to connect with a network of peers, build a strong community, and gain student leadership experience as a TedPack Leader or TedPack Mentor in our TedPacks.

My Story in 30 

My Story in 30 is a podcast series hosted by the Fit for Business team where we interview upper-year Ted Rogers School students about their real and unfiltered university experiences in 30-minutes episodes. 

 

📢 Stay Informed 

To enhance the student experience, we worked collaboratively with four other units to successfully build a streamlined communication approach.                                               

FFB Newsletter

As the first year is an important transitional phase, we provide a streamlined communication channel with one weekly FFB email to keep students informed.
