CAREER & EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING SERVICES
If you’ve graduated within the last three years, you can still access Saint Mary’s Career & Experiential Learning office, as a special benefit for young alumni. Located on the 4th floor of the Donnell O'Hennessey Student Centre, they offer recent graduates access to continued career counseling, assessments, and career development support.
Here are some of the ways the Career & Experiential Learning team can help you post-graduation:
Career Counselling
Career Counselling is a confidential, in-depth service tailored to the client and addresses career and education concerns. Our Career Counsellors are graduate-trained professionals who are skilled and experienced in helping students work through questions and obstacles, and can support them in making the best decisions related to their career path. This free service is available to all students and alumni for three years’ post-graduation. Book an appointment online at Career360°
