I had no idea how many opportunities were available to grad students. I keep finding them, printing them and posting them on my bulletin board… In the span of the next 16 months I want to fit as much in as possible!
If you’re a grad student, especially in Ottawa and/or studying business or technology, you should check some of these out. They are all amazing opportunities and events.
- Technology Venture Challenge
- IBM Extreme Blue Internship
- PARC Internship
- Stanford Summer Institute for Entrepreneurship
- Grace Hopper Conference
- CASCON IBM Conference
- Google Workshop for Women Engineers
- Mindtrust Leadership Development Program - Sprott School of Business
- MCETech Conference on eTechnologies - hosted at Carleton

I graduated 2 years ago from the University (Business school) . I got a job and went into HR. I am attending now a summer school in this area along with a lot of students who are members of all sort of NGOs and have lots of experience from extra curricular activities and internships. I am amazed how I could not have known about that when I was a student.
So I am glad that you post opportunities on your blog and hope that many students will take advantage of them!
