Environmental Careers Networking Event
12:30 – 2:30pm
A225/A229, Abbotsford Campus

Building connections is essential to finding work today, particularly in those first months after graduation. Just as important is learning from others who have gone through the difficult transitions from school to the workforce. What will the job search be like? How will I be most successful? What types of jobs can I expect to find?

The first annual Environmental Networking Event will allow you to build important strategic connections with one another, while learning from those currently at work in or hoping to find jobs in environmental career fields.

When: Doors open at 12.30 pm for meet-and-greet. Panel discussion starts at 1 pm.
