Further Education Expo expands and features specialized programs

Close to 500 students converged at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) to learn more about graduate studies and specialized program opportunities, within UOIT and other educational institutions, during the second-annual Further Education Expo.

"We were thrilled to host an event dedicated to helping students explore the further education offerings of so many different institutions all in one place," said Darren Grant, Employment Advisor, Career Centre. "The Further Education Expo gives students a chance to learn more about various fields, get accurate, up-to-date information about programs, have their questions answered and ultimately make informed decisions about their further education pursuits."

Hosted by UOIT’s Career Centre on October 10, this year’s event brought together 57 educational institutions to speak with students about their programs and admissions processes – an increase from last year’s 40 participating schools. Several specialized programs were also featured this year, including UOIT’s Pathways/bridge programs, as well as medical, post-diploma, graduate certificate and applied degree offerings from other schools.
