Graduating in 2023 and looking to start full-time work after you complete your studies at Laurier?
The Graduating Student Employment Service (GSES) attracts top employers looking to recruit final-year students (undergraduate and graduate students) for full-time positions that start after graduation. Employers start posting opportunities as early as this coming July/August and throughout the next year. Roles in accounting, finance, capital markets and rotational programs are some of the earliest postings, so we recommend that you prepare for your job search this spring and start looking for jobs in Navigator this July/August.
Important Note: We work with employers representing almost every employment sector in Canada (for-profit and not-for-profit). We can not predict when a particular employer may post with us. It is important to check Navigator for job postings regularly. In this way, you can be sure that you will not miss a job that could be of interest to you.
To learn more about the GSES program and how to prepare for your job search, we invite you to attend one of these sessions:
GSES Orientation Sessions:
Wednesday, June 8, 3-4 p.m. (in-person)
Thursday, June 9, 10-11 a.m. (online)
FAQs
What are the key aspects of the program?
- Full-time employment opportunities targeting students in their final year of studies at Laurier.
- Opportunities to network with employers through recruiting/information sessions and job fairs.
- Career Centre supports and resources including career planning, job search and application support, further education planning and application assistance and more!
GSES launches in August 2022 and continues through to June 2023; however, employers may begin posting jobs as early as this coming July for positions that start no earlier than spring/summer 2023.
Do I need to register for the GSES program?
No, students in their final year of study are automatically registered in the GSES program by early August. You will know that you have been successfully registered because you will see a new position type search option in Navigator called 'Graduating Student (GSES)'. You will also start to receive the GSES newsletter by email in late August. Contact the Career Centre if you are concerned that you have not been registered properly.
