Career Centre Fall Fair:
The
Career Centre will be hosting its annual Fall Career Fair next week on
Sept. 18 from 10am-3pm in the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh building. There
will be over 80 employers attending, many of whom are looking to connect
with your students. For the first time, we’ve organized our career fair website
to highlight participating employers by industry, so that students can
search employers of interest prior to the fair and conduct research on
the opportunities available. We’ve also created a “Career Fair Tips”
page to support students in preparing for and succeeding at the fair –
there is a short video tutorial as well as a slideshow
outlining what is a career fair and why students should attend.
These are some of the Organizations hoping to see your students:

Cyber Security Challenge:
There’s a
Cyber Security challenge happening
in October in Toronto, where teams of 4 students from different
educational institutions will be pitching their ideas to solve one of
the biggest issues in IT Security -
People are the weakest link in cybersecurity. The top 3 teams will be awarded prizes of $3000, $1500 and $1000.
There will also be a career fair at
the event, where students will have the chance to apply for jobs and
understand what requirements for security positions of different levels
are. This is a great way to network and learn more about the Security
Industry.
