Nova Scotia Career and Employment Student Symposium
by coadystfx
In 2021, the CEI launched an annual symposium to highlight the knowledge, research, and emerging best practices of students working in the career development, employment, and labour field. Students also play an integral role in guiding the design and preparation of the symposium, as well as moderating the panel discussions. The symposium has grown and evolved each year and provides an excellent opportunity for post-secondary students, community members, career development practitioners, academics, and government employees to network and engage with the incredible work being led by student interns across the province.
Funding partner: Nova Scotia Department of Labour, Skills, and Immigration
# participants: The symposium featured 10 student presentations in 2021, 17 in 2022, and we expect 30 student participants in 2023. Our participant attendance (career development and employment professionals, provincial government employees, representatives of NGOs and community organizations) has grown as well, with an average of 20 attendees per panel in 2021, to 30 in 2022.
