Keeping your career in focus
As York alumni, you have learned how to learn, how to explore and how to build the life and career you want. We’re always here to support that – from providing guidance to recent grads, to career coaching for more-established alumni. And don’t forget that continuing education can help career growth at any stage, or even help you decide to go a different route altogether.

Most people don’t land the perfect job right after graduation, and it can be tough to figure out how to find the right role. But as York alumni, you can get help from our Career Centre professionals for up to two years after you graduate, getting supportive coaching to help you as you develop career self-management skills.
York’s Career Centre works to build your abilities and confidence through innovative career development and job search strategies, with practical support.
A coach is someone who is always on your side, but who will “tell it like it is” – things you might want to learn more about, but also the things you’re doing well. A CareerJoy certified career coach can help you gain control over your career and your future helping you learn to be a better leader, step up your job search or a career change, or simply build a stronger resume.
