About Speed Mentoring

As part of this year’s Career Boot Camp (#CBC_CDC), there will be five 90-minute sessions of virtual, structured networking. Groups of five or six young professionals will meet with one executive for 15 minutes at a time (through Zoom breakout rooms). There will be four rounds of networking per session. This will be an opportunity for you to share your advice and answer questions related to career development, work-life balance, and the inner workings of the Government of Canada.

When will it take place?

There will be five virtual speed networking sessions to choose from:

• Session 1 (English): Monday, February 8, from 12:30 – 2:00 p.m. EST
• Session 2 (Bilingual) : Monday, February 8, from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. EST
