The career development course helps students develop core career-seeking skills. Students who complete the career development course will refine their résumé writing and interview skills and align their career goals with their values, skills and interests. The course is rooted in the Centre for Career Action’s expertise in career development theory.
Students can complete the career development course in one of two ways:
You can receive an EDGE milestone for completing PD1 as a co-op student before transferring out of a co-op program. When you register for EDGE, your transcript will be reviewed by the EDGE team for this and other milestone eligibility opportunities.
For more information on this topic, visit our page devoted to EDGE milestone eligibility.
The EDGE version of PD1 is designed for undergraduates in traditional (non-co-op) programs, so the portions of PD1 focused on the co-op process and WaterlooWorks have been removed. Some content and assessments have also been changed to meet the needs of students in traditional programs.
For more information about PD1 and its alternative versions, visit the PD1 course page on the WatPD website.
The EDGE version of PD1 is open to students who haven’t yet enrolled in EDGE. All students in traditional programs are welcome to take the course and develop fundamental career skills, even if they’re not ready to opt into EDGE.
"Getting into EDGE and taking PD1 made different things come up for me... I was a little unsure and unclear, and EDGE has given me the opportunity to put myself in situations to find out what I want to do and what I don't want to do. It helped me decide what I wanted to be at university."
- Aaron, 3A student and EDGE ambassador

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
