By the end of the program, students will have explored and identified a diverse range of career opportunities and created a personalized action plan, equipping them with the tools they need to thrive in their future endeavours with confidence. Through intensive programming led by the University of Guelph Career Educators and Advisors, students will build career management skills such as a comprehensive understanding of career planning, develop greater self-awareness, learn to articulate their skills and interests in resumes and cover letters as well as during networking and interviews, navigate the labour market to identify trends, opportunities and employers’ expectations, and gain confidence in making informed decisions about their future studies and employment.
In addition, through daily guided career exploration and networking activities with the University of Guelph community, participants will gain firsthand insights into various academic programs and relevant career opportunities. Participants will meet leading and emerging experts across the U of G colleges, including the College of Arts, College of Biological Science, Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, College of Social & Applied Human Sciences, Ontario Agricultural College, and Ontario Veterinary College.
This camp is ideal for high school students ages 15 to 19 in grades 10, 11, and 12 and recent graduates during a lap—or gap-year who are eager to explore their future career paths and gain valuable insights and skills for their post-secondary journey and beyond. The program is designed to support students make informed decisions about their future and set them up for success.
Please be prepared to bring your own laptop or other writing equipment, as well as your own lunch, snacks, and personal items. One week prior to course start, you will be contacted by a member of the Coop and Career team to confirm all details of the week and to confirm your personal information.
