Business Skills Are
Needed Everywhere
Most Telfer clubs point you toward consulting, accounting, and finance firms. Telfer Gateway Society closes that gap, bringing you face-to-face with industries and recruiters you never knew were looking for you.
Engineering firms. Tech companies. Government agencies. Law firms. Biomedical companies. Your business degree opens more doors than you think.
Our Mission
Telfer Gateway Society exists because business skills are universal. We connect Telfer students with industries beyond traditional business sectors, opening doors to engineering firms, tech companies, law practices, and research institutions.
The Problem We're Solving
Most Telfer clubs are industry-focused—pushing students toward consulting, accounting, and finance. While these are great paths, they make it harder for students to realize they can work at an engineering firm, a biotech startup, a government research lab, or a law practice.
Every industry needs business minds. Project managers at engineering firms. Operations specialists in pharmaceutical companies. Financial analysts at tech startups. Telfer Gateway Society is here to make those connections visible and accessible.
Breaking Boundaries
We challenge the traditional path. Business skills aren't confined to consulting firms and banks—they're essential across every industry.
Cross-Faculty Connections
We bring together students from engineering, science, law, and business. Innovation happens at the intersection of disciplines.
Expanding Horizons
We introduce you to opportunities you didn't know existed. From aerospace to pharmaceuticals, your degree opens unexpected doors.
Industries We Connect
Telfer Gateway Society focuses on three key sectors where business skills create the most impact— and where Telfer students are rarely exposed.
Engineering
Engineering firms need business minds for project management, operations, and strategy. Technical innovation requires business excellence.
Science & Healthcare
Pharmaceutical, biotech, and research organizations rely on business expertise for operations, finance, and regulatory compliance.
Law & Policy
Corporate law, government agencies, and policy organizations value business acumen for compliance, operations, and strategic planning.
