YEG Industry Insights (YEGiis)

Want to explore what your future career could look like — up close? A YEGii is a field trip organized by the CWIL  Experiential Learning team that connects a small group of selected undergraduate business students with local organizations across various industries in Edmonton and the Capital Region.

During the visit, you’ll tour workplaces, learn about industry trends and hiring practices, and hear directly from professionals about their day-to-day work and career journeys. You’ll also get the chance to network with executives, associates, and recruitment partners in a real-world setting.

A YEGii is more than just a field trip — it’s a chance to gather insights, make connections, boost your networking confidence and discover the wide range of career opportunities available right here at home.

We are now running two streams of YEGii’s: Sprints and Treks. Check them out below!
