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.
