|Hi! My name is Sara, the student program assistant with Economic Development in Alberta region of Indigenous Services Canada. I am also an undergraduate sociology student and research assistant at the University of Alberta. Although economic development and sociology are not necessarily natural pairs, I find a lot of crossover when considering social inequality and how economic activities play out for disadvantaged individuals. I am incredibly interested in understanding economic inequality and discrimination within the Canadian labour market. I believe that by expanding our understanding of the social circumstances which influence, are present within, and result from the labour market, we can respond more efficiently to the needs of our society.
For students, my advice is to get involved where you can and find opportunities to talk with other students. For the first piece, I have found by taking on new tasks or working with different people allows one to learn, practice skills, and maybe even find a new interest. As for networking with students, I have found this particularly beneficial working from home as somedays it is difficult to feel connected while working from home. I find communicating with other students is beneficial as an opportunity to ask questions and learn about other areas of work. The Young Professionals Network and Student Committee are both great opportunity to find these connections.
