Get ready for Career Month!

Every year Canadians across the country take part in Career Month. The University of Manitoba is hosting more than 20 events and workshops this year. Whether you have your career path all mapped out, are unsure of your career goal, or are somewhere in between, there is an event for you!

By taking part in Career Month you can kick-start or boost your career planning and develop your career management skills. Sessions offered can help you: explore your career options, learn how to tailor your resumé or effectively utilize LinkedIn to support your job search. From the November 4 kick-off event to the November 6 volunteer fair, Career Month is a great time to engage in opportunities and consider your career development.
