UNEXPECTED MENTORS: FREE ONLINE PRESENTATION
Feb 3, 2021 | 7:00 pm

RDC alum, Sheila Musgrove, is back with unusual and creative ways to find career inspiration! In this free, online presentation, she’ll share some unique advice she’s learned over her long career as a recruiter and author of two career development books. 

“Unexpected Mentors: A friendly kick in the pants” will shake up the idea of a traditional mentor/mentee relationship and you’ll leave with a pile of ideas of how you can be bold in the asks in your career. And, yes, she’ll tell you what the big yellow duck is all about – a career nugget you won’t forget! 

This free event is available for all RDC alumni and current students. Find more information or register at rdc.ab.ca/mentorship.
