Trainees gain expert insight on networking for success
AllerGen’s 50+ trainees learned how to refresh, build and make the most of their existing networks at the Mitacs Step workshop. For AllerGen’s trainees, the benefits of the workshop were immediate with many reporting having put a number of networking tips into practice shortly after the event. AllerGen Highly Qualified Personnel and Events Coordinator, Michelle Harkness described the presentation of Networking for Success as “energetic and synchronized” with 92% of survey respondents rating the session “above average” or “excellent”. AllerGen enthusiastically recommends this session to organizations seeking to build capacity in the next generation of Canadian leaders destined for careers where their work crosses disciplines and sectors.
