Connecting Top Firms with Top Engineering Candidates
ReNew Canada hosted its inaugural Career Fair – Engineering the Top100 Projects, in partnership with the Ontario Society Of Professional Engineers. This event connected engineering firms who work on Canada’s Top 100 Infrastructure Projects with third and fourth-year engineering students looking to work with some of the most engaging and innovative firms operating in Canada.
