Workshop Day is an in-person event for women students in STEM who want to develop their employability skills for an upcoming co-op/internship/job. Students who attend the event will learn how to brand themselves to potential employers and how to make their resumes stand out from the crowd.

  • An updated CV,
  • An updated LinkedIn profile,
  • Worksheets and key takeaways with all of the information shared, and
  • A certificate of Workshop Day completion.

Workshop Day is part of Carleton University’s Faculty of Engineering and Design’s Women in Engineering & IT (WiE&IT) Program and is brought to you through a partnership with CAE and GastopsStay tuned for details for the 2025 Workshop Day! If you have questions about the event, please contact our Program Administrator at: wie@carleton.ca.
