Career development peer groups bring together small groups of students who are at different stages of their career journey to connect, exchange perspectives, and learn from each other’s experiences.

Sessions offer a welcoming space to discuss career-related topics, reflect on your own goals, and discover new ways of approaching career decisions with practical guidance from a trained facilitator.

Discover new ways of approaching career decisions

Career peer groups offer students looking to make new connections the perfect opportunity to meet new people and work on career advancement together!

Each group will consist of:

  • Presentation from a facilitator
  • Activity to exchange and practice with other student(s)
  • Discussion within the group
