A lunch and learn is an opportunity for employees to eat lunch in a group setting while simultaneously discussing essential topics, completing training, listening to seminars, engaging in professional development or other relevant education to their jobs or organization.
Lunch and learns are an excellent opportunity for employers and organizations to train and engage existing employees and are a favourite of third party organizations looking to host sessions with a particular organization or group of employees.
These learning sessions are incredibly popular among non-profit organizations looking to engage organizations in fundraising or similar campaigns.
Lunch and learn programs are also an excellent opportunity for employers to meet and engage with a group of applicants for a particular role or work-study internship. These group interview settings are just as valuable for the employers as they can be for the applicants.
A lunch and learn program designed to attract new employees is a great way to teach potential applicants about your organization, core values and the company mission on top of delving into the specifics of the role they are applying for. This is particularly beneficial for large organizations with multiple job opportunities and a large pool of potential applicants.
