This year’s Cannexus will feature a special “Military-connected” stream focused on supporting veterans and their families transitioning from military to civilian employment or on to further education.
The conference’s military-connected program stream will have presenters from Canadian Armed Forces Transition Group, Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research, Military Family Services and more.
The conference will also launch the second edition of CERIC’s popular Military 2 Civilian Employment: A Career Practitioner’s Guide.
The new edition will reflect changes within the Canadian military ecosystem and ensure that career professionals have an up-to-date resource to help clients navigate smoothly from military roles into the civilian workforce or further education.
