Career Planning

What Can I Do With My Degree?

Many students at Laurier are unsure about their career path after they graduate. The Career Centre is here to help guide you through planning your career.

It is important to understand that employers hire people, not degrees. The skills and knowledge you develop as a result of your education, as well as in your work and community activities, have the greatest impact on hiring decisions.

Career Planning Process: The Cornerstone of Career Success

Successful career development is a life-long process. The first step in successful career development is effective career planning.

At the Career Centre we believe that the major you choose or the career you seek should represent positive steps in your path to a rewarding future. When you understand yourself and are informed about your options, you will have the tools to make choices which will enable you to be successful in whichever career direction you aspire.

What Is the Career Planning Process?

Career planning involves taking the time to understand yourself and your options for the purpose of making wise academic and informed career choices and plans. Too many people are unemployed, underemployed or unhappily employed! Whether you are on your first or your third career, we encourage you to take the time to assume control of the direction and progression of your career path through a comprehensive and honest navigation of the career planning process.
