The CPA, in collaboration with the Canadian Society for Brain, Behaviour and Cognitive Science (CSBBCS), will be hosting our 5th annual Virtual Career Fair December 11.
By participating in this event, you will learn about various career paths and positions for psychology graduates outside of the health services and academic settings directly from individuals in those positions. You also will have the opportunity to connect with these individuals via virtual break out rooms where you can ask them about their experience, advice, or anything relevant to your job search!
