Refer a student to the Career Development Centre
Before directing students towards an appropriate referral option it is important to understand the ways the Career Development Centre can assist your students. The Career Development Centre can help a student in all stages of the career planning and decision-making process. Academic advisers, on the other hand, tend to focus on helping the students choose specific courses and meet academic requirements.

- Is looking for graduate employment
- Is considering further study options
- Would like information on the career paths associated with a particular subject
- Is experiencing difficulty with career issues, causing them to consider leaving or changing their course
- Is unsure of their goals or future
- Needs assistance with an job application or interview
