The Career Development Office is located in 306A on the 3rd Floor of Robson Hall.

The Career Development Office is dedicated to alerting students to upcoming national events, and to providing job postings for articling, summer and clerkship positions. In addition, we maintain postings for international and volunteer opportunities.

Through our Career Development Office, we offer workshops, seminars and individualized consultations where students can discuss their career goals and obtain guidance on how to achieve them. We provide one-on-one resume and cover letter review, as well as offer mock interviews. In addition, we have held Practice Interview Night, and networking events which allows students to connect in  with local firms as well as various government agencies in a casual setting.

As an additional service for students interested in pursuing careers outside Manitoba, we host on-campus interviews for out-of-province firms.
