The Kanata business district that represents Canada’s largest tech park is taking its show on the road – virtually – in a bid to convince Ontario’s best and brightest STEM grads to bring their talents to local firms.
The Kanata North Business Association opened registration for the free online career showcase, dubbed the Discover Technata Career Roadshow, on Tuesday.
The platform is aimed at informing students and recent graduates from six Ontario colleges and universities about career opportunities and job openings at the business association’s member companies, which include major tech firms such as Cisco, Ericsson, Mitel and Huawei.
