According to a Canadian Workopolis study, employers across every industry want communication, writing, organization, leadership, and problem-solving skills in their new hires. At UFV, we’re committed to making sure you walk out our doors with these life skills. Read more about UFV learning outcomes.
For even more real-world experience, many UFV courses offer field trips, study tours, practicums, labs, industry projects, and expert panels.
There’s no substitute for hands-on work experience. That’s why so many of our programs have co-operative education options — paid work terms in your field of study.
There are also plenty of opportunities to work part-time on campus in a position related to your program. Learn more at our Career Centre.
Working as a research assistant helps link your academic work to the real world. It also develops professional contacts and connects you with mentors who can support you on your career path.

Through volunteering, you’ll gain valuable experience and skills, make contacts and develop your leadership capabilities. UFV has a wide variety of opportunities for you to volunteer on campus.

The UFV Career Centre offers free workshops, a yearly career fair, and one-on-one career counselling appointments for students and grads. Whether you need help updating your resume, practising your interview skills, or connecting with potential employers, we’ve got you covered.
Our recruiters would love to help you find the answers.
