APEGA - University Outreach

The Opportunity

There’s more to being a professional engineer or geoscientist than simply completing a degree, which is a major accomplishment in its own right. New professionals must learn to navigate not only the post-university world, but also the unique challenges beginning a new career in a complex industry. If you’re an experienced Professional or a new Member in Training, don’t you wish you could have had someone to help guide you as you embarked on the next stage of your career?

On November 7th, 2024 in both Edmonton & Calgary APEGA will be hosting networking mixers. These events give students and new graduates an opportunity to make important business connections and ask questions about their potential careers. If you’re someone that loves to meet new people, share your career story or provide mentorship, this is a great way to give back to your community.

The Impact

APEGA’s Industry Mixer volunteers create a positive impact in the community by meeting with engineering and geoscience students to provide advice and guidance on how to succeed in their chosen professions, how to get their feet in the doors of their careers and how to navigate the complexities of the engineering and geosciences industries in Alberta. Members-in-Training are especially valued for this opportunity as they can provide a unique perspective to students who are about to take the first steps from education into their careers.

Time Commitment

November 7th, 2024 from 5:30-8:00pm
