EY Connect Day, November 2025
On November 7th, students from BUILD visited EY for an immersive look into the world of accounting and consulting. Throughout the day, students engaged in interactive workshops, hands-on problem-solving activities, and speed-mentoring sessions that connected them directly with EY professionals. From practicing real-world business scenarios to refining their resumes with expert guidance, students strengthened their career readiness, grew their confidence, and gained insight into pathways within the professional services industry.
This experience offered a valuable opportunity for students to ask questions, build relationships with industry experts, and envision possibilities for their own future careers.
