Panel Discussion: Shaping the Future of Work for Youth
An honest conversation with four women across different career stages and industries to talk about what it’s like for young people navigating the job market right now, and how we can build pathways to meaningful employment for young women together.
Guided Networking with the King’s Trust Canada

Drop in, explore, and connect with organizations bringing tools and resources to support you, ranging from recruitment readiness, financial wellness, professional headshots, and more.
