“What do I like the best about working at Purdue? I would have to say it would have to be the people. The people here are such an amazing, amazing group. They have been here for the long term and I look forward to seeing them everyday.”

”They are very good to the employees. They have encouraged me along the way to take other courses. Management is very encouraging when it comes to school and different courses. I didn't have my high school diploma and thanks to the management, I went to night school and I now have a high school diploma, which made me very happy. And if it wasn't for them I don't think I would have done it.”

”I have worked at Purdue for 27 years. When I joined the company, it was a million dollar company, only $1 million and under 50 employees. And now, a few hundred people, so it has grown a lot.”

”I think the thing I like the most about living in the Durham Region (Ontario) are the opportunities it has for employment obviously, shopping as well as opportunities for my daughter to grow and come back to the community and obtain employment as well as further her studies.”
