Employer Connect: From Jobs to Careers
February 29 @ 10:00 am - 3:30 pm
The Career Learning and Development team is pleased to announce Employer Connect; an exhibitor style event that will feature some key employer partners representing a breadth of sectors. These employers will be offering part-time opportunities that can harmonize with students’ academic pursuits, work-integrated learning opportunities (co-op, internship, and field practice), as well as long-term career opportunities for post-graduation journeys. The event will encompass more than the mere notion of ‘jobs’. Students will have the opportunity to forge connections, develop professional relationships, and cultivate networks.
This is a drop-in style event. No registration is required, all RRU students are welcome!
