Co-hosted by NAYGN (UNB Chapter executives) and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL), this two-hour workshop gave students practical tips and tricks to make the most out of their experience at this year’s annual CNS conference. The interactive session covered how to network with peers and industry professionals, how to communicate research, how to leverage LinkedIn to increase visibility — and, overall, how to prepare for a career in nuclear. This event was a fantastic professional development and networking opportunity for students interested in nuclear!
