Putting career goals in reach

Career Services is an on-campus career development service that:

• helps students, alumni, faculty and staff prepare for successful careers 
• connects employers with outstanding student and alumni employees

Career Services for students and alumni

At UVic Co-op and Career, you can find the resources to explore your career pathway.

• Looking for a job? Search our job boards for opportunities.
• Not sure which career is for you? Stop by and chat with a career educator to discuss your goals.
• Want to boost your chances of landing a job? Check out a career workshop and learn how to ace interviews, improve your résumé and write strong cover letters.
• Wondering where your studies can take you? Attend a ”What can you do with your degree?” session to learn from alumni about transitioning from university to the working world.

These services are all part of the Co-op and Career foundations, which help our students and alumni build successful careers.
