Your career matters. Start today!
Laurier’s Career Centre is an invaluable component of your academic journey, offering numerous customized services for first-year students, including career preparation workshops 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 your first year can give you a significant advantage later on. We are here to help you make use of the many services and resources offered!
"I feel like the Career Development Certificate gave me a guide of what I should do next."
"I feel so much more confident and prepared now that I know more about what the Career Centre offers."
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 small group program involves two online sessions a week over a three-week period. The program covers all Career Development Certificate workshops, including career planning, resumé writing, job search and more.
