True or False? First-year university is too early to be thinking about a career. False!
Laurier’s Career Centre is an invaluable component of your academic journey, offering numerous customized services for first-year students including career preparation workshops, First-Year Career Development Certificate Program and individual appointments.
Often students tend to wait until their final year to seek out career support but in retrospect wish they had engaged with the Career Centre from day one. Thinking about your career in first year can give you a great advantage later on. We are here to help you make use of the many services and resources offered!
While you have access to all of the services and resources available through the Career Centre, here are some of the services offered specifically for first-year students.
Career consultants are available to help you with your career planning, preparation and decision-making. If you would like to have a one-on-one career discussion, please feel free to book an appointment through Navigator.
Appointment types include:
Customized First-Year Student workshops include:
"I know the Career Centre is always there and they offer so many things and I can just go in and talk to someone. I'm definitely going to use the Career Centre a lot in the upcoming years. When I feel overwhelmed or I need to talk to someone or get some advice on a career path, I know I have them there." ~ First-year Laurier student
This is a small group program that keeps maximum enrolment to twelve students. Commitment is two sessions a week over a 3-week period.
The program covers all of the first-year workshops including career planning, resumé writing, job search and more.
Participation in this program will leave you excited, motivated and hopeful about future career options and confident in overcoming barriers to employment. You will begin building your network while engaging with other first-year students. At the end of the program, you will have received the Career Development Certificate.
Tuesdays and Thursdays 3 - 4:30 p.m., January 18 - February 17, 2022.
