It's often said that Millennials and Generation Z that are entering the work force from higher education are seeking employers with ethics and purpose, in addition to a good pay cheque and steady employment. But what are our universities doing to prepare students to engage and eventually mold the workplaces they will enter? Do new employees know what to do if they are asked to commit an act of corruption?

In this webinar, an expert panel from Canadian academia will discuss what they are doing at their schools to prepare their students by discussing:

- What their departments offer in anti-corruption, ethics, and accountability education;
- What is the response from students?
- What is the response from recruiters?
- How can we build on these kinds of programs?
