It is never too early for students to visit Career Services and it is never too late, either.

Career Services is available to ALL Queen's students, from first-year undergraduates to final-year doctoral students, full or part-time. We also offer services to recent grads and alumni. We are here to help you to find your way to what comes next, be it work or ongoing education.

We deliver our services in many ways, including web-based workshops, on-site seminars and one-on-one appointments with career counsellors. We equip you to make decisions about academic and career directions; provide job and employer listings; help you find work-study programs and offer valuable job search information and techniques, including resume and cover letter instruction and much more.

If you want graduate information or summer employment, we bring employers to campus to meet with you at career fairs, information sessions and seminars. We host interviews in our newly appointed Centre, one of the best in the country. If you are looking for employment on-campus, Career Services administers the Work Study Program to students with financial need so that you will receive priority for certain part-time jobs during your academic careers.

We also support the Summer Work Experience Program, or SWEP, which provides roughly 150 on-campus summer positions for returning students. If you are looking for career-related work experience, Queen's Undergraduate Internship Program (QUIP) is a 12 to 16-month paid internship offered after second or third year. QUIP is very popular among those students looking to know more about their industry, and who would like to have industry related experience.

If it is graduate or advanced studies that interests you, we have services for you, too. We offer workshops on applying to graduate and professional schools. We help you to identify your education needs and we help you to find programs that meet them. We host events where colleges and universities promote their programs to interested Queen's students and alumni. And our counsellors are available by appointment to answer your questions and to help you find your own answers.
