Launch Your Career While In University

Develop professional skills and start your career with the help of York University!

1. 1. Career Centre

   One of the best ways to prepare for your career is right here on campus: current students can visit York’s Career Centre or explore their career development tools online. This resource provides York students with workshops, cover letter and resume critiques, practice interview sessions, employer recruitment events, and job fairs. During your first year at York, you can even book an individual advising appointment to discuss your professional goals with a Career Counsellor.

2. 2. Recruitment and Networking Events

   The Career Centre hosts Career Fairs and employer recruitment events to help students meet employers and discover new organizations. To find out about on-campus Employer Recruitment Sessions, check the Career Centre website. Additionally, students who are looking to expand your network can participate in the Take A Student To Eat (TASTE) program, which connects York students with alumni mentors.

3. 3. Work/Study Roles & Internships

   York students can start their careers while they’re still in school by taking part in York’s Work/Study opportunities, including part-time roles working with administration and faculties, as well as roles that focus on research and campus engagement. Eligible undergraduates can apply for Research at York (RAY) positions to join faculty research projects; College Life at York (CLAY) jobs, which focus on enhancing the student experience; or the York Engaged Students (YES) student leadership program. Eligible students can apply for York’s Internship program or find other employment opportunities on the Career Centre job board.
