Career Guidance
Students and alumni
VCC can help you build a successful job search plan and advance your career. Even though VCC does not have a career centre, there are VCC services ready to help you navigate your current and long-term career options.
International students
In addition to the services below, VCC's International Education department has sponsored the Ready2Work International workshop series, open to all VCC international students. Students who fully participate in these workshops can be eligible for 1:1 coaching sessions with a career expert. For more information and to register for these workshops, visit the Ready2Work International page.
