New this fall are a number of free online webinars.
Of note are the ones on "Finding an Industry Partner," which go with the Mitacs paid internships such as Mitacs Accelerate. The biggest question that students have is how to find an "industry partner," and these webinars will hopefully help you figure that step out.
