The Career Development Office organizes a wide variety of events to help you explore career options, meet employers, develop professional and career development skills, and prepare for applications and interviews.
CDO events are advertised in the biweekly newsletter and posted in 12Twenty. Please sign up in for the events you plan to attend.
Workshops and seminars
The CDO is often assisted at its presentations by students, and many of these events are attended by alumni and other guests working in a variety of types of practice and in non-practising positions. Watch the CDO newsletter and 12Twenty聽for details.
The first session, which all students should plan to attend, is an聽introduction to the CDO and career planning for first-year students, held in the fall.
Plusieurs 茅v茅nements tenus chaque ann茅e鈥攕ouvent conjointement avec des groupes 茅tudiants鈥攊nforment les 茅tudiants sur les possibilit茅s de carri猫re et les champs de pratique qui existent. Par exemple, de r茅centes conf茅rences ont port茅 sur le travail d鈥檃vocat-conseiller (in-house counsel), sur le droit criminel et sur la diversit茅 et l鈥檌nclusion. Lors de cette derni猫re conf茅rence, des recruteurs ont discut茅 des programmes de promotion de la diversit茅 et de l鈥檌nclusion existant dans leur entreprise et le march茅 juridique.
The CDO also offers general career development workshops on CVs and cover letters, interview skills, and networking and self-directed job search skills, which will be of value to students planning to take part in any recruitment process.
Enfin, le CDP organise divers 茅v猫nements pour pr茅parer les 茅tudiants aux processus de recrutement organis茅, parmi lesquels :
- Course aux stages information sessions
- Introductions to articling and summer recruitment, held each March
- US, Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver / Calgary summer recruitment information sessions and panels聽
- Clerkship and Graduate Studies information sessions
- Quebec and Ontario Bar information sessions.
颁补谤别别谤听顿补测蝉
颁补谤别别谤听顿补测蝉 provide students with information about a broad range of traditional and non-traditional ways to use a law degree, both in and out of the practice of law. In the past, participating employers staffed information booths where lawyers could tell you about their organization and answer your questions. More recently, the events have become more interactive, with opportunities to meet with employers individually or in small groups.
Information about these events will be circulated in the CDO newsletter and posted in 12Twenty.
