Your first counselling appointment will be a 20-minute session to help you on various academic and career topics, such as:

  • exploring what you can do with your degree;
  • learning how York’s Career Decision Making Model can help you understand the career decision-making process;

  • exploring your career interests and developing an action plan;
  • receiving referrals and building supports across the York campus;

If you are actively enrolled in York's Co-op Program you can meet with your assigned Co-op Coordinator for tips and suggestions to support you during your participation in the program. This may include feedback and tips on:

  • overall co-op job search strategies
  • on-the-job success coaching

Note: If your questions are more general in nature or if you are unable to book an appointment, we strongly encourage you to attend Group Drop-ins which are scheduled on a weekly basis. During group drop-ins, you can ask your question in the main room or request to be seen 1-1 in a breakout room.

For tailored guidance, you can book a 1:1 consultation directly with the EmpowerAbility Program Manager — an accessibility and disability specialist — to navigate disclosure, understand workplace accommodations, practice speaking about your disability and to address any other specific workplace disability questions.

  • Career Strategy Sessions
