How do I break into Canada's the security and defence sector?

This workshop takes upper year and graduate students through the different sub-sectors within Canadian security and defence, while introducing career opportunities across the industry that are available to those with backgrounds in social science, especially international affairs, history, and political science. We'll provide practical advice and guidance for breaking into the field.

This event is co-hosted by Emerging Leaders in Canadian Security, the Centre for International and Defence Policy, and Women in International Security Canada - Queens University.
