Career Office Mission

The CO is committed to helping students and graduates define and achieve their career goals through programs and workshops (such as Internship program, Business Ethics workshop), soft skills development (such as CV and cover letter writing skills and advice), one-on-one career coaching, career matchmaking and events, and access to an online-career library.

Internships
Creating internship opportunities for university students will allow businesses, government and other institutions to see aspiring talent in action. These agencies will have the opportunity to participate in the further development of UNYT students through mentoring and work supervision.

Important goals for a student intern are to gain valuable work experience, be exposed to business / work processes, apply theoretical knowledge in a practical environment, be a part of a team, work on an actual assignment (under supervision if necessary) and offer the intern a chance to create long term work related relationships.

Please do not hesitate to contact us to further explore matching your internship opportunities to capable UNYT students.
