Alumni Employment Service

Connecting Laurier Alumni with Employers

The Alumni Employment Service is a job posting and job notification service offered by the Career Centre to meet the customized job search needs of Laurier alumni. Positions posted through this service have immediate availability.

About the Service

The Alumni Employment Service (AES) exists exclusively for Laurier alumni. Each year, employers seeking qualified candidates contact the Career Centre to advertise more than 2500 immediate job openings. In response to these requests, qualified alumni registered with the service are notified by email of the positions that meet their job search criteria. Alumni can then apply to positions of interest by following the application instructions noted in the job posting. 

Eligibility

Laurier alumni from all disciplines and with varying levels of experience may register with the Alumni Employment Service. This includes very recent graduates seeking their first full-time position and graduates who have a lengthier employment history and are looking for a career and/or job change.

Job Opportunities

The Alumni Employment Service receives job postings daily from employers seeking candidates from various academic disciplines. Opportunities come from a variety of organizations, from non-profit to small/medium businesses to multinationals. Positions range from entry-level to senior management, with in-person, hybrid or remote work arrangements. Opportunities are primarily located within Ontario but occasionally include positions from across the country.
