Okanagan College International students: have you been wondering how to make yourself stand out, now that the entire recruitment process is digital? Do you want an opportunity to network with different local employers that regularly hire Okanagan College students and grads? Well then, join local recruiters while they share their best tips on how to network virtually, how to stand out when applying to positions, and how the pandemic has changed their recruitment process. They will also be sharing information about their equity, diversity and inclusion practices. After the panel is complete, there will be 30 minutes to ask questions directly to the local recruiters and network.
