Abstract: The Canterbury section of the NZIF recently held a “Meet your Future Employer” evening at the University of Canterbury School of Forestry. This is the third time such an evening has been held, and from a student’s perspective, was a huge success. This was not only attributable to the fact that we were provided with vast quantities of free pizza part way through the evening, but also to the fact that there were talks given by seven different industry representatives from a range of different fields. These fields ranged from forest research and large organisation representatives to forestry logistics and smaller consulting companies, with one individual travelling from as far away as Northland. For those who did not attend, both students and Industry professionals, I would highly recommend coming along next year to check it out if you can.
