Career programs

UVic offers a range of career support programs to help you find a job you love.

Your Career Starts Here

Your Career Starts Here is our free online course that will help you graduate career-ready and understand your true potential.

You'll find your answers to:

  • What do you love?
  • What are you great at?
  • What does the world need?
  • What can you be paid for?  

Program format

The course is organized into four brief modules that you'll complete mostly online at your own pace, plus a few in-person activities that will bring your learning to life.

You'll move through the four modules in the order you choose. You can choose to do as few or as many as you like. 

Your Career Starts Here is for current undergraduate students.

WACE Global Challenge

Want to work with students from around the world to tackle a real-world sustainability project?

You can take part in the WACE Global Challenge, where you'll partner with students from across the globe to act as "management consultants" on an sustainability-focused industry project.

The next challenge and cohort will run from Monday, November 11 to Friday, December 6, 2024. In the first week, you'll complete a mandatory virtual orientation session, a cultural intelligence workshop and a client briefing, then work with your team and present your work in the final week!

This opportunity is made possible through a partnership between UVic, the World Association of Cooperative Education (WACE) and EdTech Practera.
