Career Week can broaden your horizons
The Career Fair may be one of
the big highlights of Career Week,
but there are three other events
hosted that week that are definitely
worth your time, too.
On February 4, representatives from the London Small Business Centre will be giving a presentation on entrepreneurship in T1002 from 12 to 1 p.m. At this talk, you can learn how to be your own boss this summer with the Summer Company Award and the Canadian Youth Business Foundation programs, which can offer training, mentorship and funding to young entrepreneurs. Get your business advice straight from the people who've found success with their own startups at the entrepreneur panel, which includes John Anagnostou of the Small Business Centre. For more information, go to sbcentre.ca.
On February 5 — the day of the Career Fair in J Gym — the Canadian Armed Forces will bring a Royal Canadian Navy display bus to campus outside the J Gym. The bus features 15 computer stations with information about Navy trades and career opportunities, and what life is like in the Navy. They're currently recruiting for marine engineering mechanic, weapons engineering technician (electronics) and marine electrician positions, so if you're interested in those fields, this is a display that's not to be missed.
On February 6, talk SWAP from 12 to 1 p.m. in R1042 (if you can't make it to the presentation, check out the SWAP/Travel CUTS booth in F hallway from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.). SWAP is the Student Work Abroad Program, a service that helps students work out of the country. They offer assistance with everything from securing a visa to finding a job and accommodations — all you need for a wonderful working holiday. Check it out at swap.ca.
Career Week is a great chance to network with local companies, but it's also an opportunity to learn something new. Think about travelling the world — or even starting your own business right here at home — with help from the experts during Career Week.
