EMPLOYMENT COUNSELLING
Our job coach can help you in your job search, providing help with resume writing, interview and hiring procedures. If you are near completion of your program and have not found work, let us help you. Our job coach can set up job shadowing and do informative interviews to get you on your way to employment. This service is also available to the general public.
WORK PLACEMENTS
Are you uncertain of your career choice or want to investigate further? A job shadow can help to gain a better understanding of the actual job as well as provide an opportunity to ask questions related to the career, education, work, etc.
Work placements help students find jobs! If your program does not include a practicum or work placement you should see one of our Job Coaches. They will set up a work placement that works for you. The placement can be anywhere from 3 days to 2 weeks, depending on a variety of factors.
If you are a student of North West College and would like more information on a job shadow or work placement, please contact a Job Coach from either our North Battleford or Meadow Lake campus.
