During Science Career Networking events, science students and graduates have an opportunity to pitch their skills and experiences to industry professionals from various companies that hire for science backgrounds.

Science Career Talks 

Science alumni who are working in the industry will present to science students about their current careers and how they navigated their job search. This is a great opportunity to learn where a Science degree can take you. Since many jobs are not publicly advertised, networking is a major factor for students and graduates in finding jobs and careers! You will hear from each panelist, and a question and answer period will follow so, not only can you get the information you need, but you can also make meaningful connections with those in the industry.

Science Job Searching Club

3rd Year (and Beyond) Science Students

Looking for a job but not sure how to get started? Interested in learning the various ways to apply for jobs?

Every winter semester, third year (and beyond) science students have the opportunity to apply to the Science Job Searching Club – a support group of job seekers who learn to enhance resumes and cover letters, master in-person and virtual networking, improve interview skills and acquire tips and tricks to dive into the hidden job market. Students in the Science Job Searching Club have the opportunity to network with industry professionals, learn what employers look for in candidates and take time during some of the sessions to job search with other group members.

Meetings are supportive and full of discussion led by a Career Development Coordinator with the Faculty of Science. Participation is free and students who sign up are asked to participate in all sessions.
