DreamNow is co-hosting a different type of career fair on January 24th at the Center for Social Innovation in Toronto. In partnership with Diverscity we have rethought how a traditional career fair is held. Participants will not only be matched with an amazing team of mentors but will have the opportunity to test a series of missions that will make them eligible for internships at Public Inc and Ashoka.
