Your Journey to Career Success Starts Here

At the Centre for Distance Education (CD-ED), we believe that earning your diploma is just the beginning of your path to achieving your dream job. We understand that embarking on a new career requires time and effort, which is why our dedicated Career Services Team is here to support you every step of the way toward career fulfillment.

Are You in Any of These Situations?

If any of the following statements resonate with you, you’ve come to the right place:

  • You’re stuck in an unfulfilling job or feel trapped in a dead-end position.
  • You’re dissatisfied with your current role but unsure how to transition to something better.
  • You have little clarity about your desired career path but are eager to begin.
  • You have a job but believe you could achieve more.
  • You’ve lost your job or are concerned about future unemployment and want to explore new industries.
  • You struggle to find jobs that match your skills due to a lack of education.
  • You have potential for promotion, but your training feels outdated.

If any of these apply to you, our Admissions team will help you find the right program, while our Career Services Team will assist you in landing the right job. As a CD-ED alumnus, you gain lifelong access to our Career Services program.

Note: While we provide guidance, CD-ED does not guarantee job placement or employment.

Meet Our Career Services Team

Our full-time Career Services Team is dedicated to ensuring our graduates are fully prepared for the job search. Once you enroll, they actively search the job market, posting job ads in a student-only section of our website and matching graduates with opportunities based on their unique skills.

With extensive knowledge of resume, cover letter, and job application best practices, our team will help you enhance your job-hunting materials, ensuring you stand out to potential employers.

Comprehensive Job Hunting Resources

We’ve developed a suite of original job-hunting materials specifically designed for our pre-graduating students, including:

  • Newly revised resumes and cover letters
  • Extensive feedback on resume and cover letter writing
  • Mock interview preparation
  • Ongoing assistance in your job search
  • Unlimited support throughout your journey!

Approximately 30 days before graduation, our Career Services Team will reach out to assist you with this next phase of your career journey. While participation in this service is optional, we encourage you to take advantage of it for maximum benefit. Rest assured, help will always be available if you decide to seek it later.

Your Portfolio: Showcase Your Talent

Portfolio development is an integral part of all our visual arts programs. Throughout the year, you will work on portfolio-ready projects, guided by instructors with industry knowledge to ensure your portfolio is relevant upon graduation. We provide assistance in choosing a format, organizing your materials, and showcasing your best work.

Employment Liaison: Connecting You with Opportunities

Our offices regularly receive job postings and inquiries from employers. We actively share this information on our job board and personally alert students who align with specific job opportunities based on location and skills. Additionally, our instructors evaluate graduates on work ethic, time management, quality of work, and overall academic standing. We also go the extra mile for top students by providing reference letters or making calls to potential employers on their behalf.

Extensive Resources for Career Development

CD-ED has compiled a comprehensive list of resources to support your career development. From government resources, such as the National Occupation Codes from Human Resources Development Canada, to industry-specific insights, we’ve gathered essential information in one convenient location. These resources will help you identify associations that can expand your professional network and keep you informed about new developments in your field.

One-on-One Guidance Anytime
