Career Services Coordinator
Full-Time Support Staff
Reporting to the Manager, Student Learning and Transitions, the Career Services Coordinator is responsible for assessing and addressing student needs related to career planning and employment readiness. This role contributes to the development, implementation, and evaluation of career development programs and services for students and alumni, both on campus and through distance education. The Career Services Coordinator actively supports students in making connections between placement, practicum, and experiential learning opportunities offered within academic programs and their post-university career opportunities where appropriate.
Working collaboratively across the University, the Coordinator educates and empowers students and alumni by delivering career-related programming, facilitating career exploration opportunities and/or advanced levels of academic study, and building connections with employers and community organizations. Programs, initiatives, and supports are aimed at facilitating the transition from a degree to the world of work or advancing education.
The successful candidate will have a university degree (completion of a Career and Work Counsellor Diploma or career development courses considered an asset) with two years of experience in career counselling, employment coaching, or student development. A comprehensive group benefits and pension plan is offered, as well as a tuition subsidy for eligible dependents.
