You can consult a guidance counsellor if you have questions about your academic or professional future. This service is there to inform you about college and university programs and the job market. They can also help you choose your program of study or career based on your interests, abilities and personality.
Web Resources
We offer you a non-exhaustive list of websites to consult when looking for career guidance. The sites listed cover the following topics: self-knowledge (interests, skills), job descriptions, curriculum, educational institutions by level or sector (public or private), job opportunities and search.
On their websites, some universities also publish data on the placement of their graduates, in addition to providing information on their programs.
The Compass service, which can be found on Omnivox, gives you access to a vast bank of information on professions, training programs, schools and loans and bursaries.
