CDO Workshops & Events

Explore your career aspirations

We provide regular career planning and professional development events to help students explore the different opportunities available. Our programming is reviewed annually and we will often introduce new or modified options that are responsive to our student survey responses about their career goals. In 2024 we introduced a series of panels for BIPOC students in order to address student feedback.
