Polish up your resumes and get your business cards ready: the Student2Business Networking Event is coming to town on January 27.

The event, sponsored by the London Economic Development Commission, Human Resources Professionals, WIL Employment Services, University of Western Ontario and Fanshawe College, is aimed to inform and encourage students about preparing to make the transition from school to work.

Attendees have the opportunity to check out focused job preparation workshops, obtain information on growth industries in the city and meet with representatives from London's business community. They will also learn how to create personal brands and leave potential employers with a positive, lasting impression with speaker, Paul Copcutt.

On January 27, shuttle buses will run from Fanshawe College (at the Welcome Kiosk door in F building) to the Convention Centre every 40 minutes, from 12:15 to 7:30 p.m. The official opening begins at 2 p.m.
