Professional Day


 

CPAC Professional Day is an annual event on career and professional development for internationally trained professionals (ITPs). The event consists of empowering keynote presentations, educational breakout workshops and a marketplace/job fair where service providers and employers showcase their services/organizations to the participants.

In 2010, there were 10 breakout sessions and 47 exhibitors and employers, attracting over 1200 attendants from the Chinese and other ethnic communities. It is one of the few large-scale events in the GTA that help ITPs establish themselves professionally and advance in their careers. It serves both newcomers with professional backgrounds and established individuals who are looking for career advancement.

 

Our goals are to nurture and to promote:

Pursuit of Professional Employment
