RBC staff took part in an unusual event at the North West Scarborough Youth Centre for the annual United Way Days of Caring initiative. Career Talks brought five staff from the RBC branch at Sheppard and Markham together with our youth leadership group to share their personal stories that led them to pursue a career in banking.  Also joining them was YouthLink Board Member and RBC employee Karl Smith. The youth heard of the challenges of moving to Canada, finding a job after university and deciding on a career.  Much wise advise was shared about the importance of liking your job and the diversity of opportunities in banking.

Thanks to branch manager Fil Delfuoco and her staff Ashley, Grenville, Jerome and Salim for taking part and to Karl for joining us.

We hope this is the first of many Career Talks to help youth sort through career choices and challenges.
