      The department of Career Services provides assistance to all
      students and alumni in their career planning and job search.
      There are three primary services offered by the department:
      career advising, career information, and employment services for
      part-time, summer, and permanent job openings.

    Career planning services are provided on an
individual and group basis to involve students in examining their
interests, abilities, values, goals and opportunities as part of
the career decision-making process. A Career Information Centre
is available to students seeking information on topics such as
educational programs, work/study/travel abroad, careers, graduate
admission tests, job search techniques, and potential employers.

    A Graduate Employment Program is available to all
students completing their final year of a degree or diploma
program. Through this program, employers interview students
during the Fall and Winter semesters for permanent
employment available upon graduation. In addition, graduates
may register with the Alumni Referral Service. A Summer and
Part-time Employment Service is also offered. A Recruitment Fair
for graduating students and a Job Fair for summer, contract and
permanent jobs are also held annually.

    Throughout the year, the department sponsors several
programs to familiarize students with a variety of occupations.
These include events such as Careers Expo, Teacher Education
Sessions, and a Careers in... series. A newsletter entitled ``For
Your Information'', containing information related to
educational, career and employment opportunities, is published
and distributed to students, staff, and faculty. Workshops on
resume writing, job interview preparation, career planning, and
job search are also offered for interested students.
