How the program has supported you
The PAF program provided us with sufficient funding to hold in-person industry speaker series, including foods for everyone attending and gifts for the speakers. However, the event was held online due to Covid policies; all guest speakers were volunteers and food was not needed, so the PAF funding was not spent.
Outcomes
The event has helped CHBE students learn about the Co-Op program and what kind of industry CHBE students can be exposed to. The guest speakers all had different Co-Op experiences and students would be able to ask them questions about job search strategies about specific industries or the Co-Op program would be suitable for their career pathway. The direct benefits are developing the attendees interpersonal and professional communication skills, preparing themselves for the potential Co-Op work and helping determine their career interests. Only about 12 people signed up for this event, as students might be encouraged more to attend events if it was in person.
