University Canada West’s Career Development Centre (CDC) was created to facilitate an engaging partnership with its students and alumni as they transition from higher education into the workforce and beyond. Through these partnerships, the Career Development Centre bridges the gap between what employers are looking for and career opportunities for students and alumni.

The Career Development Centre works with students and alumni located in Vancouver and across Canada to provide career advising, consultations on career planning and management as well as employment coaching to facilitate career development learning and success through a hybrid of in-person and virtual appointments. Students and alumni can access career development programs via the MyUCW Student Portal or Alumni Portal for information, resources and events relevant to their job search and career development.

As students gain employable skills and alumni grow within their careers, University Canada West is dedicated to connecting them with businesses across Canada for employment and career advancement opportunities.

  • Career exploration and planning
