The activities include speaker events, company visits, participation in related conferences and industry events, networking with alumni in oil & gas and mining, hosting of potential employer information session, and e-newsletter publications.
The Club also has the Board of Advisors comprised of prominent figures active in the oil & gas and mining industries and the Club Advisors provide guidance and mentoring for the Club’s endeavor to extend its reach to the entire Canada and strength the network with business executives and professionals in the industries of interest.
