CPABC held its third annual and largest-ever CareerConnect Employer Showcase on May 17
at the Vancouver Convention Centre. The sold-out event connected more than 600 CPABC
members, candidates, students, and prospects with 42 organizations from a variety of sectors,
including industry, government, public practice, and recruitment (see right for the full list).
The event kicked off with an exclusive luncheon attended by more than 175 designated CPA
members and employer representatives. During the luncheon, attendees had the opportunity
to network and learn about the steps their peers are taking to lead the way in their respective
industries.
After the luncheon, future CPAs and prospective CPA students met with employers throughout
the afternoon. They also had the opportunity to get professional headshots taken, obtain career
advice, and discuss their resumés with Suzanne Berry, CPABC’s career counsellor (see pages
34-35 for Suzanne’s article on job search). Other CPABC representatives were also on hand to
answer questions about the CPA Professional Education Program, the CPA practical experience
requirements, and CPABC’s member services.
If you’d like more information about this event or would like to learn how CPABC can support
you in your recruitment of business, finance, and accounting professionals, contact Stéphanie
Roy, CPABC’s employer relations manager, at [email protected].
