Get Hired is an interactive, award-winning annual conference offered by the Academic Advising & Career Centre (AA&CC). It is designed to equip upcoming and recent U of T graduates with the necessary strategies, tools, skills and confidence to find and keep work. This three-day conference includes interactive workshops, panel discussions, keynote speakers and networking events. Get Hired usually takes place in late April each year. You can get a "taste" of Get Hired from Prof. Steve Joordens' 2015 talk on the brain/body connection to career success. https://youtu.be/Ju8a7LtD6Cw

Although this is a UTSC initiative, we are pleased to offer a limited number of spaces for UTM and St. George students. Please register early via the Career and Co-Curricular Learning Network (CLNx).

What Does It Cost?

A conference like this through a private company would likely cost $500 or more - and you can attend free of charge thanks to TD Insurance and the AA&CC!
