Description

Spring is almost here, and it's never too early to start thinking about your next career move!

This month, we're excited to invite you to an interactive presentation and live networking session with Scotiabank, focused on their new graduate roles for students who have recently graduated or will be graduating in April/May 2023. Not all these opportunities are entry-level, so even if you are looking for mid-senior level roles, we welcome you to attend.

The session will be hosted virtually on the MS Teams platform, and will consist initially of presentations by Scotiabank and then live networking with Scotiabank representatives. Registration will close on March 29 at 12:00pm.
