Learn more about campus hiring for CPA Pre-Approved Program Route (PPR) positions – Upcoming virtual workshops for spring recruitment (2024 start dates) on January 31st and February 7th
DAP career coach, Russell Garrett, will be holding two workshops on the upcoming fall recruitment cycle for pre-approved program route (PPR) positions. The majority of public practice accounting firms will be hiring through this cycle, so if you are interested in working in public practice and will have all of your CPA PEP pre-requisites in time to start a full-time role in 2024, attend these upcoming sessions to learn more and build your foundation for a successful recruitment experience!
- Tuesday, January 31st, 4:45 pm to 6:15 pm PT – Introduction to Spring Public Practice Recruit (virtual)
Public Practice Recruiting (PPR) is a significant period for the Big 4, national, mid-sized and some local small firms to network with, interview and hire students from many Post-Secondary Institutions (PSIs) for positions beginning the following year. Learn how PPR works and how to begin preparing now to give yourself the greatest advantage over other PSIs to make connections, land work with a CPA Pre-Approved Training Office and achieve your CPA aspirations. Learn from a guest panel of successful students that recently landed positions with the firms. Then, participate in a break out session where you can ask questions to the panel member in your group and prepare for your PPR experience this Spring.
- Monday, February 7th, 4:45 pm to 6:15 pm PT – Networking (virtual)
Gaining information and building relationships are two key components to succeeding during PPR and paving the way for a successful career. Networking is a learned skill that anyone can develop. Making meaningful connections can happen through both organized and proactive opportunities. These contacts can result in information interviews or “coffee chats” that can provide critical information to target firms, prepare specific applications, increase interview success and make your follow up stand out. When firms make decisions about who to interview or hire, the people they already know have a distinct advantage. Come learn the strategies of networking and connect with our panel of Sauder students that recently networked their way to success.
Registration for both of these workshops is now open on COOL .
