University of Lethbridge launches new career education plan to help students get connected

The University of Lethbridge has launched a new career education plan to help students get connected with job opportunities.

The University of Lethbridge has launched a new career education plan to help students get connected through experiential and work-integrated learning opportunities.

“It involves the university, it involves the student and it involves the industry organizations and community partners to provide these kinds of experiences where they can apply their knowledge to real world situations,” said a university spokesperson.

The university says 95 per cent of graduates were able to find work within one year of graduation, with 41 per cent of them having participated in a work placement during their time as a student.

The new plan will also help connect students to the university’s career bridge to better facilitate faculty involvement and better communicate opportunities to community partners.
