Session 2 | Build Day
Date: Saturday, February 28
Time: 11:00 AM – 2:30 PM
Location: Memorial University of Newfoundland, Arts & Administration Building, Room A1043

This second session is a hands-on Build Day, focused on creating real automations and workflows for project management tasks. Participants will explore triggers, actions, and conditions, work with low-code/no-code tools, and compare in-built tool automations versus cross-tool workflows. Working individually or in groups, participants will build a simple automation for a real project activity, guided by experienced facilitators, and practice applying their learning immediately.

Refreshments will be provided, offering participants a chance to connect, share insights, and expand professional networks.

This training session is part of the Empowerment Bridge Program, a partnership between Expertise Hub Cooperative, IENL – Study and Stay NL, and Verisult, funded by the Newfoundland and Labrador Office of Immigration and Multiculturalism.
