Each class visit is a brief 15 minute presentation to review the available resources and services. You can also actively encourage students to visit Student Employment Services to make use of the resources available and to complete job search assignments from your courses.

Graduate class visits are conducted to let the students know what services are available to them after graduation, such as the job email distribution service and the on-site career resources. We try to keep these sessions short, about 15 – 30 minutes in length. We may also be able to research specific topics for customized workshops, including job search strategies, resume and cover letter tips, interview techniques, self-marketing, etc. Please contact Lynda Bowyer at lynda.bowyer@saultcollege.ca for details.
