The Cape Breton Partnership, Cape Breton University Alumni Association, and Cape Breton Connector Program are partnering to offer Adulting 101, a webinar series aiming to share advice and life skills with new grads, young alumni, and other aspiring job-seekers.

“We’re excited to partner with CBU Alumni and the Connector program to offer this new webinar series,” says Carla Arsenault, Cape Breton Partnership President & CEO. “One of our roles is to attract and retain talent for Cape Breton companies, so this a great opportunity to support new grads and job seekers in the hopes of keeping them here at home.”

The first Adulting 101 session, Socially Me, will feature industry professionals sharing their advice on the positive and negative uses of social media for young professionals who are seeking a job or are newly on their career path.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with the Cape Breton Partnership to host this webinar series throughout June as part of our alumni engagement”, says Rochelle Hatcher, Annual Giving Specialist for Cape Breton University. “This series will feature CBU alumni and industry experts with tips and advice for young alumni. It’s very important for our alumni to help each other and benefit from one another’s experiences, whether they graduated in 2020 or 20 years ago.”
