Career Development Centre
Student Support Services
As a central resource hub and support centre, the Career Development team at UCW guides students throughout the entire career development cycle. Career Advisors and Specialists, seasoned professionals in career development, assist students in exploring, planning and managing their careers. They offer support in acquiring employment preparatory skills, such as writing cover letters and resumés, interview techniques and networking strategies aligned with occupational and professional goals. These professionals provide personalized one-on-one career advising and coaching, mentoring and learning facilitation, along with group learning through workshops and events aimed at enhancing career readiness and increasing employability, job search skills and job market competitiveness. Additionally, they have developed valuable career and job search resources, including a roadmap to career success for all UCW students. The Career Development Centre, through the Graduate Practicum Program, collaborates with employers and professional associations to create meaningful work-integrated learning opportunities that allow students to apply academic knowledge, fostering professional growth and career development.
