Brandon University and Assiniboine College partnered with the Brandon Chamber of Commerce for a conference-style event, ConnectED, that offered more than 100 students the opportunity to connect with local industry. Using a “speed dating” model, the half-day conference matched students with industry experts in their areas of interest, giving them dedicated facetime to ask career questions, gain insider tips and tricks, and build their personal networks.
A Brandon University expert on experiential education, professional networking, and launching youth into successful careers will take her message to Brandon’s business class at a Brandon Chamber of Commerce luncheon this month.
Cora Dupuis, Co-ordinator of BU’s Co-op Program, will deliver the keynote address at the Brandon Chamber’s February Luncheon, this Thursday, Feb. 20. It’s the first time in recent memory that a Brandon University faculty member has taken the stage as a keynote speaker at a Chamber luncheon.
