Hello UM colleagues, hope you’ve had a great fall term so far!

As you may already know, November is Career Month!  We’ve partnered with UMSU and the Alumni Association again this year to host a range of events. A full schedule, along with career articles and more, can be found on our UM Career Month website: https://www.umanitoba.ca/career-services/career-planning/career-month. Please visit the event listing by week and click each title to view event details and for registration.  

As with past years, for each event attended, students can enter the $1000 tuition draw, courtesy of the UM Alumni Association. Students attending appts at Career Services in the month of November can also enter the draw.

Some key events to note are:

• Career Month Kick-off: Mon, Nov 4 - Visit the Career Month booth hosted by Career Services, Alumni Association and UMSU for refreshments, activities and to learn about events

Regisration is required.
• Mini Indigenous Career Fair – Wed, Nov 27, 1 to 3pm (Main floor, Migizi Agamik) - Employers attending include BMO, Richardson International, St. Amant and SEED Winnipeg.

As you connect with students, please do share information about Career Month. If you have space in your offices to include the poster or monitor ad (attached), we’d greatly appreciate it.  Instructors and professors, if it’s possible for you to share the slide at the start of classes, we’ve included this in a PPT doc.  Career Month is also a great time to share career stories with students, including those about your own career journey.

Thanks for your support,

Lisa
