In an effort to help graduating students prepare for and navigate the transition to life after university, a group of Queen’s campus partners have created a webpage providing valuable links and advice in one location.

The initiative – QYourFuture – is an online informational hub and an information card (available in hard copy around campus) that connects students to a range of resources and support programs. 

The partners – Career Services; Alumni Relations; Queen’s Student Alumni Association (QSAA); Smith School of Business – Career Centre, School of Graduate Studies; and Alma Mater Society (AMS) – have highlighted things students should do in their final year of study, aptly called “10 Things to Do Before You Graduate”.

While not an exhaustive list, the 10 activities aim to help graduating students take the next step, from joining a Queen’s career networking group and applying to graduate, to attending career fairs and information sessions, and discovering how all they have gained during their time at Queen’s adds up.

“Career Services was excited to partner with departments across campus to create an outlet for graduating students to seek support and guidance in transitioning towards their successful career,” says Cathy Keates, Director, Career Services. “QYourFuture helps to cross-promote our programs through one channel to make programming more accessible and comfortable for graduating students.”
