Learners set employment goals and objectives that guide their assignment efforts throughout the term, ensuring they are job-ready upon graduation. Students experience the latest tools and strategies related to career research and effective employment searches, developing a highly effective resume and designing a dynamic and professional digital profile. Learners work to understand the nuances of building an effective professional network and participate in an external networking event to expand these skills. Interview preparation, using role-play, ensures learners are ready to showcase their top attributes to hiring professionals. Students also benefit from learning about specific laddering agreements that are in place between the Business-Marketing program and other diploma, advanced diploma, degree, and graduate certificate programs. Finally, students will spend time interacting with various guest speakers and participating in a community-based volunteer role throughout the term.
