Career Exploration and Sprott Clubs
In collaboration with the Sprott student clubs, Sprott Careers assists with panel discussions focused around each of the different academic concentrations. These panels feature alumni working in their respective fields who will offer insight to career options and can answer your questions about what skills to learn and how to best prepare for jobs in those fields.
To support the concentration areas, we also help Sprott clubs with small conferences, industry tours, professional association connections, guest speakers and logistical tasks.
