Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Get real career advice from people who have been there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wondering what your first job will really be like? Not sure how to choose the right co-op? Curious about the skills employers are looking for or how to build your network before graduation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us to connect with alumni who have already made the leap from university to the workforce. In small-group, roundtable conversations, you’ll have the chance to ask questions, hear different perspectives and get practical advice from professionals working in the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring your questions. Leave with new perspectives.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You could ask about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Co-op:<\/strong> How do you choose an opportunity that’s right for you?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Career skills:<\/strong> What skills helped alumni stand out when starting their careers?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Life after graduation:<\/strong> What is the transition from university to work really like?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Networking:<\/strong> How do you build genuine professional connections?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Career journeys:<\/strong> What do alumni wish they had known as undergraduate students?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    There’s no formal presentation and no need to prepare<\/strong>. Just bring your questions and curiosity. We’ll provide conversation prompts and icebreakers to help get things moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And once the mentoring wraps up, stick around for a\u00a0complimentary networking dinner<\/strong>, a chance to keep the conversation going and meet even more people from the FED community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A list of our mentors will be provided <\/strong>i<\/strong>n<\/strong> <\/strong>t<\/strong>h<\/strong>e<\/strong> <\/strong>c<\/strong>o<\/strong>m<\/strong>i<\/strong>n<\/strong>g<\/strong> <\/strong>d<\/strong>a<\/strong>y<\/strong>s<\/strong>. Check back soon to see the full list on this event page.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
