GEMS seeks to improve the professional development and awareness of students throughout the year by providing contact with successful role models from the engineering industry. We believe that networking is key in offering students valuable insight to life after university, as well as information on vacation and graduate employment programs within their companies.

 

GEMS also aims to provide valuable opportunities to sharpen networking skills and develop personal links with industry representatives. In refining the skills required for a competitive professional arena, various soft skill workshops with the primary objective of improving job prospects for members are provided. These workshops aim to provide guidance in resume preparation, application processes, job interview etiquette and how to make your application stand out from the crowd. Furthermore, they are facilitated in junction with industry professionals to ensure that information provided remains current and relevant.

 

Our industry sponsors gain exposure at all of our industry events. However, personalized sponsorship option package are available, allowing sponsors to nominate exactly which events they wish to sponsor, run, suggest or create their own to gain maximum exposure and ensure targeted audiences are reached.
