Thanks a lot for all of your efforts for my students

Overall, the experience was alright, and Rebecca was helpful. We appreciated the opportunity to collaborate. Clearer communication of expectations and objectives from the start could have made the process even more effective.

On behalf of UCR Extension I would like to thank Rebecca Lyons for giving students the opportunity to do the project. This was a good learning experience for the students to apply what they learned in the professional and academic front.

I had a great experience. Rebecca was very personable, informative and supportive. I enjoyed working on the project with my team.

Participating in this project provided valuable insight into how modern organizations approach HR challenges and innovative solutions. The employers at Exera Solutions demonstrated a strong commitment to thought leadership, clearly communicating both the strategic importance of HR analytics and the practical aspects of workforce management in a rapidly changing environment. I particularly appreciated their openness in discussing real-world scenarios, which made the learning experience more relatable and applicable. The collaboration was well-structured, and Exera’s representatives were responsive to questions, providing thoughtful and detailed answers. This engagement helped me better understand the integration of HR intelligence in business strategy and the growing impact of data-driven decision-making within HR functions. Thank you for facilitating this valuable learning opportunity. Wishing you continued success in your future endeavors, Kiera Lailheugue

Great experience! I appreciate how easy and available they were.

The project was well-organized with clear expectations and timely communication. It was a smooth experience working with Exera Solutions, and I appreciated the opportunity to contribute to their HR Intelligence initiative.

This by far has been the best experience I have had with HR Business Management. The instructor Dr. Nidhi Shah is the best, not only did she explain in detail about upcoming projects, but she also is very well at communicating her thoughts and ideas to better articulate the program. Rebecc Lyons the CEO for Exera solutions was also a delight to work with and communicating her company platform. I highly recommend this class. Thank you to the both of you for making this a rewarding experience.

Working with Rebecca and the Exera Solutions team on the AI-Driven HR Platform Enhancement during the Advance Ontario April 2025 Cohort was an outstanding experience. From day one, she demonstrated genuine empathy and patience—always taking the time to listen to our questions, explain complex concepts in clear, accessible terms, and ensure every teammate felt supported. Her willingness to roll up her sleeves and dive into debugging sessions alongside us not only accelerated our learning but also fostered a truly collaborative environment where no concern felt too small to address. The Exera Solutions employers complemented her leadership perfectly: they set a clear strategic vision for the project while trusting us to explore creative solutions, provided just the right balance of guidance and autonomy, and maintained open channels of communication that kept everyone aligned and motivated. Thanks to their hands-on mentorship and her unwavering encouragement, I emerged from the cohort not only with deeper technical skills in AI-powered HR tooling but also with renewed confidence in tackling ambitious, real-world challenges.

My internship experience at Exera Solutions Inc. has been truly enriching and rewarding. From the very beginning, I felt welcomed and supported, thanks in large part to the inclusive and accommodating work culture fostered by my supervisor, Rebecca. Her leadership style was not only approachable but also empowering. Rebecca consistently went out of her way to ensure I had meaningful opportunities to learn and grow. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling, always open to setting up meetings so I could ask questions and seek guidance. Her willingness to share her knowledge and provide constructive feedback created an environment where I felt confident and encouraged to contribute. Working under her guidance allowed me to develop both technical and analytical skills in the HR analytics space, and I genuinely appreciated the collaborative atmosphere she helped build. It’s rare to find a supervisor so dedicated to both project goals and individual development. I’m grateful to have been part of a team that valued inclusion, learning, and innovation. Thank you to Exera Solutions Inc. and especially to Rebecca for such a meaningful internship experience.

Rebecca was a fantastic project lead. She was kind, supportive, and always approachable. She didn’t micromanage, which was refreshing, and instead trusted us to take ownership of our tasks.

I really appreciated how she encouraged us to choose tasks that matched our skills and interests, which made the experience even more engaging and rewarding.
