Career Development - The University supports responsible decision making by prospects for career planning by being impartial in our discussions with candidates, sharing the potential benefits and challenges of the student's decision and referring candidates for Career Advising.
As students, career guidance at UCC continues with the Orientation to University Life module which includes presentations that map professions to programme offerings. The onboarding experience for high school graduates includes at least 10 sessions of personal and career development. Despite having a student population of over 95% working adults, UCC hosts career seminars and expos that are open to all students:
-
Resume and Cover Letter writing
-
Going on that Interview (The Interviewer Seminar)
-
UCC Professional conferences (External Presenter)
-
Quarterly Lecture series
The DSS informs students on vacancies and invites submission of résumés for job placement and internships and is building on the 2021 trajectory by engaging Ministry of Labour and Social Security (MLSS), as well as building professional profiles with IKONWORK.
