Spark others! Share the value of your learning

If you have participated in learning experiences outside the classroom (ex: internships, competitions, research, study abroad, etc) but aren’t sure how to express the skills you have gained, then this workshop is for you. This is an interactive workshop that includes individual and group work, role-play/practice and immediate feedback. The learning and skills developed during the workshop will help you explain the importance of these experiences to your peers, or as you enter the labour market. Register online for the next session.
