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 a free online course for undergraduate students who want to graduate career-ready and discover their true potential. You'll explore:

  • what you love,
  • what you're great at,
  • what the world needs, and
  • what you can be paid for

The course is organized into five brief modules that you'll complete at your own pace. The activities will help you align your interests and strengths with meaningful career opportunities. Whether you're just starting to think about your future or already have a direction in mind, this course will guide you in building a personalized career journey plan and putting it into action.

Please note that this course is for current UVic undergraduate students only. Courses for graduate students and alumni are coming soon!
