LETTERFROM THE

DIRECTOR

It is my pleasure to present the 2016-17 Annual Report for the Business Career Hub at the Ted Rogers School of Management. This report highlights our achievements and developments over the past academic year, demonstrating our continued commitment to connecting students with their passions. This year was a milestone for the Business Career Hub, as we set a record for student engagement, number of employers on campus and the continued growth and success of the TRSM Co-op Program. This year the Business Career Hub launched the first peer designed, developed and facilitated Microsoft Excel workshop series that engaged more than 766 students from across Ryerson.

The year ahead will see the integration of the TRSM Co-op program into the Business Career Hub, increased support for Ted Rogers Student Society events and the launch of new initiatives designed to enhance the reputation of Ted Rogers School of Management students and alumni to employers.

The success of the Business Career Hub is dependent on the support of many stakeholders across the university. We are grateful to have the continued collaboration of our staff, faculty and industry partners.
