Career Skills Sessions

In order to help you develop your career and internship skills, MIAB (MFAc Internship Advisory Board) plans to offer MFAc students distinct sessions  in three main areas:

  •          Part 1: Career preparation  skills (CD)
  •          Part 2: Presentation skills using  PowerPoint (PS)            
  •          Part 3: Excel skills (E)

All career skills sessions are free to MFAc students and alumni. We want to offer you an opportunity to help develop your career and internship skills as well as help expand your networking through these learning sessions. FACC6850 requires attendance at 10 classes. 1/3 of each Career Skills module will count up to a maximum of 2 of the 10 FACC6850 class attendance credits. Attendance also counts towards our CSC.

The following events will be held in Winter 2024 term.
