Career Conversations Panel Series
Career Conversations, sponsored by York Alumni Relations, is a series of panel discussions that focus on different industry sectors and are designed to provide students with an opportunity to connect with employers and alumni; gain insight into fields of interest to them; and get advice from professionals currently working in the field.
Employer and Alumni panelists will address and discuss questions from a Career Centre moderator, students and new graduates on topics such as:
- their personal career paths
- how their university education is relevant to their particular position
- the realities of the sectors they work in
- strategies for entering the sector
- opportunities within their fields
- resources for connecting with professionals in that field
