The connections built during your time at Thompson Rivers University don’t end when you are finished your class, program or degree. Networking and learning about new and different careers are important parts of any post-secondary experience, with impacts that follow you long after graduation. Industry Connect has been created to bridge the educational gap between students and career pathways.
Every February we send out a survey asking you about your hopes and dreams for your future career. Whether you have a specific pathway in mind and don’t have connections, if you are unsure of your options and want to learn more, or if you just want to learn about unique pathways, we hear you!
Based on your feedback we pick out specific industry pathway topics and create a space where students and industry professionals network, learn, develop connections and explore the dynamic nature of career pathways.
At Industry Connect sessions industry professionals with diverse educational background and professional experiences are invited to discuss their professional pathway and have a conversation with small groups of students. Our goal is to foster student and industry specific connections, share experiences, examine career pathways, and help build professional networks.
