Career Services
Career Services facilitates student’s access to opportunities, creation of connections, and preparation for and management of their careers. Career Services also plays a key role in supporting students in developing competencies (knowledges, skills, attributes) through experiential and work integrated learning opportunities. 

While many instructors will invite their students to come to them for direct advice and help, some students may be more comfortable asking their questions of others. Either way, normalizing help-seeking and the desire to build one's academic skill set is a tremendous opportunity that you have as a teacher.

Do you have a role in student leadership development?

The Student Leadership Community of Practice (SLCoP) advocates for and supports students in their leadership development through roles such as Arts and Science Peer Mentors, PAL Peer Mentors, Peer Health Mentors, Residence Assistants, Notetakers, KinLife Student Leaders, Research Coaches, Student Assistants, Student Advisors, Student Ambassadors as well as others.

The SLCoP community aims to strengthen the connections and communications among staff working with student leaders through meeting on a regular basis and working collaboratively to share experiences, create a pool of resources and research and discuss best practices. Contact us to learn more and find out how you can get involved.

• Contact SLCoP

Faculty and instructors play an important role in this process and the Career Services team will work with you and support you to enhance the student experience you provide.

Career development is the continual journey of self-awareness, skill development, goal setting and achievement. Supporting student career development means assisting students in the exploration and navigation of their career journey and helping them establish the solid foundation necessary for future career success. 

• Student career development

The Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is an official record of university-approved and facilitated activities students have been involved in. It helps students find opportunities to learn outside of the classroom and then capture those activities, and the learning outcomes derived from them, on an official document that they can use in furthering their employment and educational goals.

• Maintaining and administrating the Co-Curricular Record

Being involved in campus life and having positive social networks is often what keeps students committed to their academic goals, even through tough times when they may feel like quitting.
