Joint Career Events

Project Summary: This project will provide OCAD U and Ontario Tech students who are in their final two years of study with new career opportunities through various career and employer networking events, such as the Graduate Exhibition (GradEx) at OCAD U and the Reverse Career Fair at Ontario Tech. The emphasis here will also include guidance on early-company formation. As a physical touchpoint, students will have ongoing access to resources and services at OCAD University’s Experiential Learning Centre and Ontario Tech’s Career Centre in order to explore deeper professional opportunities. Through this initiative, students will have access to advanced skill-sharing and networking, as well as a broader range of employers in different sectors and across a wider geographical area. There will also be more opportunities to form companies and create jobs.
