Join us for an on-line info session to learn more about how the Beat the Odds internship program can prepare you for your career! 

The Beat the Odds internship program is a career-development for students in equity-deserving groups. It aims to help you:

  • Become familiar with career options in your academic field
  • Gain confidence in navigating the workplace
  • Apply what you've learned in class to a real-world setting
  • Develop new career-related skills 

How does it work?
Beat the Odds is a two-part program completed over at least two semesters:

  1. The Beat the Odds Academy: A paid professional development and skills-training program that builds career readiness.
  2. The internship: A paid, flexible internship aligned with students’ academic interests and career goals.

The program is aimed at students who are:

  • Currently registered in an undergraduate degree or certificate program at Concordia University (independent students and students on leave are not eligible).
  • From traditionally underrepresented groups who are more likely to encounter systemic barriers of unemployment, underemployment and low academic standing.

The info session will take place on Zoom. Join the meeting here.
