U5 Speed Networking Event

Join us for the U5 Speed Networking Event, an opportunity for staff with under five years of experience at the City of London to network with Directors and Managers from various departments within the Corporation.

When: Wednesday, June 5, 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Where: Top of the Hall Café, 12th floor, City Hall
Registration: Please note registration is required for this event. Register today at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GRPGK7Q

You’ll have the opportunity learn more about City of London leaders’ professional journey and navigating the intricacies of working at the City of London in a leadership role.

Attendees will be placed in small groups. Each group will have roughly 5 minutes with each leader to chat, network and socialize.

Whether you're seeking mentorship, guidance or simply looking to expand your professional network, this event is designed to empower your career growth at the City of London.

Free snacks and drinks will be available during the event. You’ll also have the opportunity to win some prizes. Participate in networking BINGO and you will be entered in a draw to win one of three City of London swag bags!

Please note this event is only open to City of London staff.

The U5 Employee Resource Group supports employees with under five years' service in their current role. Some U5 employees might be brand new to the corporation, and some may have been employees for 20+ years and just moved to a new department or facility.

U5 helps new employees with:

  • Networking
  • Navigating the organization
  • Career guidance
  • Social activities

U5 helps the organization with:

  • Improving Corporate On-boarding for New Employees
  • Advice on retaining top talent
  • Provide input on corporate initiatives (ARAOWG, Safe Cities, etc.)
  • Employees Networking & Connecting across Service Areas
  • Improving workplace culture

All U5 initiatives are made possible by employee volunteers who sit on the U5 Executive, to develop annual work plans and coordinate projects throughout the year. The U5 Executive often relies on other volunteers to bring each project to life – planning events, promoting, editing documents, creating surveys – even pullin' trucks and flippin' burgs!

Past events have included social events, Lunch & Learns, and networking events with mentors. U5 members have also helped develop resources, including guides to common City of London acronyms, understanding pensions, and accessing internal professional development. Check out our Resources (on the right) and Past Events sections!

The U5 Executivemeets about once each month, led by co-chairs Francesca Gable & Joannah Campbell. If you have questions or are looking to be added to our volunteer list, please contact U5@london.ca or reach out to a member of the U5 Executive.
