Indigenous students career supports

In partnership with Indigenous Student Services and led by the Indigenous Career Educator, Amanda Andrews – we offer culturally relevant and meaningful career supports for Indigenous students to explore what you can do with your degree, discover job opportunities in a variety of fields and industries, and consider further education options and plans.

Connect one-on-one with the Indigenous Career Educator to:

  • Learn about career programs, services, resources and work opportunities.
  • Review your job or further education application documents (e.g. personal statement, CV or résumé for further education application).
  • Practice strategies to respond to different interview types and questions.
  • Develop a strategy for making decisions about your career and navigating your options.
  • Develop a strategy for applying to further education and explore how to make a decision.
  • Discuss and develop your job search plan.

Open to Indigenous students and Indigenous alumni within 2 years.
