Industry Nights

Organized by UBC Engineering program and departmental clubs, these events provide students the opportunity to meet and network with UBC engineering alumni and industry professionals from a specific discipline or specialty. 

The Experiential Learning Hub provides coaching, access to resources and funding for student-led Industry Nights.

Benefits:

Students and alumni interacting at an industry night
  • Learn more about what different industries and careers you can pursue within Applied Science
  • Gain insights and advice from industry members about potential career paths
  • Make industry connections and expand your professional network
  • Create a positive impression on those who may potentially hire you one day

About APSC PD Funding 2024/25

This year, Program and Department Clubs can apply directly to the APSC PD funding pool for funding and support for their Industry Night. Please note that if you apply for Industry Night funding through PAF, your Industry Night will not be eligible for funding through APSC PD (i.e. clubs will not receive additional funding if they submit a proposal to both to APSC PD and PAF). 

Process for Accessing Industry Night Funding

    Clubs can expect to receive a response from the APSC PD Team about funding approval within two weeks of their proposal 

  2. Meet with APSC PD to discuss event proposal
  3. Check-in about the event in the lead-up (as required)
  4. Submit reimbursements for approval!
