How to be Rewarded for Your Learning Experiences

Online

Webinar Registration Topic How to be Rewarded for Your Learning Experiences Description If you've been doing your personal taxes for years or have training from another educational institution, you could apply to have this learning recognized in order to fast track new learning at Dalhousie. It's called Recognition of Prior Learning and we will walk you through how you can apply to RPL and be rewarded for your past learning experiences. RPL is a process that awards learners access to formal study and advanced standing through the assessment of certified, non-formal and informal learning including work and life experience, training, independent study, volunteer work, travel, and hobbies. RPL assesses the knowledge you've gained from your experiences, not how much experience you have. Join us for this informative webinar! Time Oct 11, 2022 12:00 PM in Halifax

Entrevestor Live: East Coast Startup Success

VOLTA 1800 Argyle Street #Unit 801, Halifax, NS

Entrevestor Live is a half-day hybrid event dedicated to the greatest successes in the Atlantic Canadian startup community. Dispelling the myth that #StartupAtlantic features only early-stage companies, Entrevestor Live showcases the growth-stage companies that have had major funding rounds, exits or gained a global presence. What’s more, our conference is designed to maximize the time and budget of our customers. Its three-hour duration means you can attend without surrendering a day or more of your precious time. (People in Halifax will still benefit from a networking session after the program.) And it’s priced so that even early-stage founders can attend, either in person in Halifax or online from anywhere. If you’re an investor, Entrevestor Live will show you what’s happening in Atlantic Canadian startups – in the most successful companies, those companies poised to join the top tier, and the emerging sectors. If you’re a founder, the program will help you understand how the best companies got where they are. Either way, this is a must-see event. We're delighted to partner with Volta, Canada's East Coast Innovation Hub, which has agreed to host Entrevestor Live. A networking session will follow the event at Volta.
