Ways to connect with employers
Company Information Sessions (CIS) and Company Networking Sessions (CNS)
Throughout the year we offer both Company Information (CIS) and Company Networking Sessions (CNS). At these events, you can learn about different companies in a wide variety of industries including:
- Accounting
- Marketing
- Finance
- Technology
- Consulting
- Real Estate
- Supply Chain
What's the difference between a CIS and CNS?
At CISs employers deliver a presentation to a large group of students about their company along with a short Q&A session to end the event. These events are a great way to learn about different companies - their recruitment process, culture, and job opportunities.
At CNSs you will have the opportunity to spend more face-to-face time connecting and interacting with industry professionals. These events are a great way to build meaningful and authentic connections with prospective employers.
Check COOL regularly for upcoming sessions. We will continue to post recordings of CISs on our Event Recording Canvas when they are available. Self-enroll here.
