Industry Snapshots

Industry Snapshots expose students to different organizations in different industries and their approach to business with the objective of expanding students' understanding of the business landscape in Canada.

A small group of MBA students will be selected to represent the University of Alberta and will have the opportunity to meet executives, associates, and recruitment partners in the workplace. This is a great information gathering and networking opportunity, and serves to provide information about corporate cultures, recruitment processes, and career trajectories to inspire students to move forward in their career. MBA Industry Snapshots will be a half day event in which we will visit a local organization for the afternoon. 

These events are limited to current Alberta School of Business students only. Please note these events are for career exploration and networking purposes only, not to solicit employment.
