Workshops and events

We offer a wide range of career-focused workshops and events for all students, including co-op, regular, undergraduate and graduate, and alumni. Currently, all of our programming is offered virtually and you can register for online workshops and webinars via WaterlooWorks.

If you are unable to attend one of our live workshops or missed a particular workshop you found out about, we have recorded online presentations that you can take any time and at your own pace. Let's get career ready!
