Seminars are 5 hours in total length and delivered in 50 minutes sessions over the conference by seminar leaders, covering topics such as leading and managing a team, marketing, number crunching for financial statements, writing proposals and presenting in professional business settings.
Seminars are at the core of the UTACCEL conference. Seminar Leaders design seminar courses and deliver it to a class of no more than 10 delegates. The 2010 conference will offer 10 seminar courses in a diverse range of topics. Each seminar contains three two-hour sessions. Each delegate will get to complete 4 – 6 seminar courses depending on his or her own preference. This event aims to expose delegates to an environment that promotes individual attention and class discussion.
Similar to real courses offered in a Canadian university, Seminar Leaders will also be available to assist the delegates. They are there to offer delegates more hands-on assistance both inside and outside the classrooms. By living and studying with Seminar Tutors, delegates get a more authentic taste of what it will be like when or if they come to study in Canada.
