Career programs
UVic offers a range of career support programs to help you find a job you love.
Your Career Starts Here
Your Career Starts Here is our free online course that will help you graduate career-ready and understand your true potential.
You'll find your answers to:
- What do you love?
- What are you great at?
- What does the world need?
- What can you be paid for?
Program format
The course is organized into four brief modules that you'll complete mostly online at your own pace, plus a few in-person activities that will bring your learning to life.
You'll move through the four modules in the order you choose. You can choose to do as few or as many as you like.
Your Career Starts Here is for current undergraduate students.
