Congratulations, you’ve graduated! What comes next?

While more than 1,800 new graduates of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) received their degrees June 9 and 10 at Convocation, the university continues to help its newest alumni prepare for their transition into the workforce.

On Tuesday, June 21, the university’s Career Centre will host iLaunch My Career, a first-of-its-kind one-day conference featuring interactive seminars, practical workshops and networking opportunities. Session topics include:

• Who do you think you are? Self-exploration for career decision-making
• Get LinkedIn: Understanding how and why you should use LinkedIn
• Crafting an impactful resumé and cover letter
• Outwit, outplay, outlast: How to survive and thrive in your next interview
• Get suited up: Bring your best self to work

Media are invited to interview grads and the guest speakers – one is a UOIT alumnus who has transitioned into a successful entrepreneur; the other lives in Durham Region and works for 360 Insights. Both will share their own employment journeys and offer job-finding tips. 

When:
Tuesday, June 21, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Where:
Education Building
11 Simcoe Street North
