Engineering students at UBC Okanagan will have an exciting opportunity to gain insights into their future at Industry Night on Nov. 21.
The popular event brings together students of all levels with industry members from across the region and beyond.
For students, the event is not only an opportunity to learn more about the various industries and careers they can pursue with an engineering degree – it’s a chance to build invaluable connections for their future.
“Industry night is a great opportunity to gain insights and advice from industry members about potential career paths,” says Grant Topor, Professional Development Officer for the School of Engineering. “We encourage students to take time out of their busy schedules to attend so they can make vital industry connections, expand their professional network and make a great first impression on potential future employers.”
The event also brings benefit to the School’s industry partners as well.
“For industry, this is a chance to meet and interact with their future workforce,” says Topor. “It’s also an opportunity to tell us about their organization’s needs and what students can expect when they step out into industry. We’re incredibly appreciative of our industry partners for their engagement with this event – it’s a great mutual opportunity for students and employers to connect and build meaningful relationships.”
