About this Event
The best tool to have as you begin your career journey is a strong support network. Meet and learn from local professionals who celebrate and support diversity in the workplace. The speakers will walk us through their career journeys, sharing how they found their path, built their network of support, and how that network has supported them along the way. Attendees will have the opportunity to submit questions to the speakers before and during the event. This event will help youth, guardians/caregivers, and educators develop a deeper understanding of the importance of examining diversity in career choices and building supportive networks that encourage diverse career paths.
Also joining us for this event is Spectrum Waterloo Region with resources and programming to start building those connections today.
