Lunch & Learns

We have a great talent across our institution and we all have something to learn from one another. A Lunch & Learn is a forum to allow us to gather, learn from each other, and discuss topics relevant to us all with impacts across work and life. Lunch & Learn sessions provide an open, relaxed and collaborative learning environment that encourages a solid work culture of knowledge sharing and learning, teamwork and cooperation.
