York Community
Career support for your faculty, department, unit or student organization
The Career Centre is committed to working with members of the York community to provide targeted career support to students across the York campus.
While we offer workshops, special events and one-on-one career support to all students and new graduates across Faculties and from all levels of study, we are frequently asked to provide career support to targeted groups of students throughout the campus. Here are some of the activities we provide:
