Graduate Student Engagement Program for Career Development
As a charitable organization that advances education, research and advocacy in career counselling and development, CERIC encourages the engagement of Canada’s graduate students (full-time or part-time) whose academic focus is in career development and/or related fields through the Graduate Student Engagement Program (GSEP).
Top 5 reasons to join the program:
- An exciting opportunity for students to connect and discuss their work, assertions, and challenges with a dedicated community of other students and field practitioners
- A chance to compete for a GSEP Award which provides free registration and up to $1,000 to cover expenses to attend and present a poster at Cannexus - Canada’s largest bilingual Career Development Conference
- Develop professional interests by joining one of CERIC’s Advisory Committees
- Have an article published in the peer-reviewed Canadian Journal of Career Development, the pre-eminent open access academic journal dedicated to multi-sectoral career development in Canada and around the world
- Write for the CareerWise / OrientAction website, featuring the top career news and views, and the possibility to be featured in the weekly newsletter
