Developing a comprehensive career plan enables you to define career success on your own terms and then live and work intentionally to achieve it.

Why start now?

Career planning involves taking the time to:

• Understand yourself and what matters to you from a work perspective
• Explore current and emerging work options in both academic and non-academic fields
• Create a reliable filter for the purpose of making informed decisions and embracing unexpected opportunities
• Discover resources available to help you conduct accurate career research
• Alleviate your reliance on out-of-date, false or anecdotal job market and career information

In addition to the resources available on this website, we encourage you to take attend year-round Career Events including specialized workshops for gradaute and postdoctoral students as well as to book an individual consultation appointment, all of which are available to all Laurier students and alumni at no cost.
