Description: 

Experiential learning placements enable an organization to connect with prospective employees before they graduate from post-secondary studies. Through thoughtful recruitment and onboarding, organizations can use experiential learning to create a pipeline of Generation Z talent.

 In this webinar, you’ll learn how an organization can maximize its return on investment when engaging students, early.

You’ll come away with practical tips on how to:

  • Attract qualified, enthusiastic students to an organization
  • Develop an onboarding framework that will enable a student to ramp up quickly, especially if they’ll be working remotely
  • Provide the kinds of support Gen Z employees need to thrive, online and offline
  • Connect with university staff who can help with recruitment, hiring, and ongoing support

This webinar is being presented by FutureReadyNB, a province-wide experiential learning initiative, in collaboration with the New Brunswick Business Council and the Conseil Économique du Nouveau Brunswick.
