Promoting your session

We can help with promoting your session on our online events calendar, website and social media channels.  Other promotions are up to you, but we suggest promoting on social media and/or connecting in advance with UVic student clubs or course unions that may be interested in your session.

How to book a session

If you are interested in booking an information session, please email employerinfosessions@uvic.ca. 

Please note that while we love to give our students as many opportunities to connect with potential employers and grad schools as possible, submitting a request for a session does not guarantee that we will be able to book your event. Once we receive your request, we will assess whether your session is a good fit given our current capacity and get back to you as soon as possible!

When: October and March each year

We host "What can you do with your degree?" industry panels in the fall and spring to help UVic students and alumni learn about career opportunities in a variety of sectors. This series is one of our most popular events!

Sharing your own career story as a panelist helps to support students as they explore career options—and it's a great way to share information about prospects at your organization.

Please contact UVicCoopCareerEvents@uvic.ca to volunteer as a panelist. This panels will take place virtually during the 2020-2021 academic year.

When: We run several throughout the year; time varies by program

Our students participate in mock interviews on campus to gain realistic interview experience and help them to better articulate their competencies to employers.

We’re often looking for employers from a wide range of sectors to volunteer for these sessions; it’s a fantastic way to connect with UVic and share valuable feedback with our students. Some mock-interviewers have been so impressed with a student, they've made a job offer on the spot!

If you’re interested in volunteering as a mock interviewer, please contact megt@uvic.ca.
