​Thank you to the Centre for Community Engaged Learning for the grant funds through the Connect to Community.

​These fund will be utilized towards planning and hosting the following three workshops: 

Workshop 1: Life After Post-Secondary 

This workshop will primarily tackle finances in post-secondary school, volunteering/working as a student, and mental health.

Workshop 2: Diversity in STEM

Diversity in STEM workshop will feature a speaker series featuring graduate students, medical students, and professionals in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematic academic disciplines. Our speakers themselves are immigrants/refugees and prepared to share how they were able to overcome the barriers that newcomers often have to face to succeed in reaching their career goals.

Workshop 3: Career Planning & Resume Building 

Lastly, we want to formulate a workshop that will provide help on resume-building, and exploring career paths. We also aim to create detailed workbooks that will summarize the workshops. After these workshops, we are hoping to culminate our event with a tour of the UBC campus. We hope that this will serve to inspire the newcomer youth and motivate those that want higher education.
