Global Pathways Career Program
This comprehensive program is designed to address challenges unique to the international student experience and empower you through your career development and immigration journey.
We understand that each student’s career goals and journey are unique — that’s why the program is intentionally flexible so you can attend workshops that apply specifically to your own personalized Career and Immigration Plan, which you will develop through completion of the program.
How does it work?
- The program consists of four compulsory sessions over four modules, with one deliverable assignment and the option to complete one additional module.
- Sessions focus on career readiness, job-search strategy, interview and networking skills, as well as immigration information for remaining in Canada as a temporary or permanent resident.
- Elective sessions are offered in partnership with relevant organizations on campus, and from within the community.
International students who complete the Global Pathways Career Program will be able to:
- identify and explore their own identities/workplace expectations in relation to the identities and expectations of others;
- develop intercultural competence/fluency as a means to create more meaningful interview, networking, and workplace interactions;
- participate in sessions to identify skills, prepare for the job search, and complete up-to-date and relevant resumes and cover letters;
- navigate IRCC (immigration) documentation requirements to support the Canadian and international workplace transition.
At the end of the program, you’ll receive a Certificate of Completion along with your own personalized Career and Immigration Plan.
