Plus, we leverage UBC Sauder's extensive network to connect you with the business community. To help you make connections we facilitate:
- Industry events & workshops: Company recruiting sessions, hiring events, networking events, and more
- Information interviews and mock interviews: check out our interview prep resources
- Mentorship & specialty programs: Brand Management, Finance Mentorship, and Capital Markets Training, to name a few
Additionally, each year, we post thousands of internship and full-time job opportunities on the COOL Career Platform that span diverse industries and roles.
