It’s that time of year again! Our MBA students are getting ready for their debut to alumni and recruiters at the annual Get Connected event in Toronto. This intensive, three-day event is the capstone to the initial 10-weeks of in-class, Career Management programming. During their time in Toronto, students will be invited to exclusive Information Sessions with top recruiting firms, participate in a networking event with over 200 Ivey alumni, spend the day practising mock-interviews with real company representatives, and listen to recruiter/alumni panels that discuss the most effective strategies for career success. As a formal kick-off to recruiting season, students embrace this opportunity to practise and hone the networking and presentation skills they have learned in first weeks of the program, and to make valuable connections with key recruiters and companies who will participate in on-campus recruiting this Fall.
To give you an idea of what students can expect during Get Connected, take a look at this day-in-the-life video from MBA 2014, Leslie Shaw:
