Current students

Are you currently studying in a traditional (i.e. non-co-op) program? Do you want to improve your career skills and market yourself to employers? Are you having trouble connecting the work you do in the classroom to your future in the workplace?

If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above, EDGE — the University of Waterloo’s new experiential education certificate program — might be right for you. Students who work through EDGE will leave campus with an essential set of skills and the ability to make clear, confident connections between their experience and employer needs.

In-person EDGE advising has been suspended indefinitely as part of the University's response to COVID-19. Online advising appointments are available or reach the EDGE team at edge@uwaterloo.ca.
