Giving graduates a jumpstart on new careers

Applications are now open for the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Career Apprenticeship: Kingston program, a one-year, salary paid, career apprenticeship.

The Faculty of Arts and Science partnered with Kingston Economic Development in 2018 to create QCA:K, a program supported by Ottawa-based business leader and philanthropist Alan Rottenberg. The program helps new graduates jumpstart their careers while helping small business attract and retain highly skilled talent in Kingston.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�카지노 게임 컬렉션�Where/how do I get experience if no one is willing to hire me?카지노 게임 컬렉션� is an all too familiar question,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Chandra Erickson, Experiential Learning Coordinator, FAS. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Most entry-level positions ask for experience creating a common hurdle for new graduates during their initial job search. QCA:K bridges this gap by connecting new FAS graduates with local employers, providing meaningful first work experience(s) and keeping our graduates in Kingston.

Graduates apply to local companies; companies receive four months of funding towards salaries and successful applicants have a guaranteed full-time job for one year

The project was piloted in 2018-19 with eight jobs created in Kingston. The pilot year proved successful, with seven of eight positions turning into permanent employment 카지노 게임 컬렉션� three of whom remain with the original employer. Since the initial pilot, student applications have grown from 28 to 173 and the number of business partners from 15 to 25, with the number of positions posted doubling from 18 to 32.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Our Strategic Plan identifies experiential learning as an important part of the student experience,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Jill Atkinson, Associate Dean (Teaching and Learning). 카지노 게임 컬렉션�We are committed to increasing access to both work-integrated and community service learning. The QCA:K program is a valuable addition to the Faculty of Arts and Science카지노 게임 컬렉션�s work-integrated opportunities because it extends beyond university providing a bridge to the workforce.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
