How can I find a job during my studies?

Many cégeps have a placement service to support students in their job or internship search.
Employment assistance is available to students looking for part-time jobs during the school year or full-time jobs during school breaks.
Graduating students looking for a job related to their field of study can also use the cégep’s placement and employment support service.

The placement service often organizes activities to help students in their job search, such as:

• Career fairs

• Job search workshops

• Résumé writing support

• Interview preparation

• And more
