Our mission
At the Centre for Career Development, our main objective is to educate and inspire all University of Waterloo students (regular and co-op), alumni, employees, and postdoctoral fellows to explore and act on their career journey. We accomplish this through high-quality in-person and online services.
Our vision will be realized when career development is an integral component of the student experience at the University and the Centre for Career Development is recognized as a leader in university career education.
