Career Resources for Diverse Groups



At the Bissett Student success Centre we recognize that students who belong to diverse groups may face additional barriers to career success, or have special considerations when job searching. We want to ensure that all students have access to career resources that reflect their reality, so we have collected career resources specific to each group listed below. When possible, we chose resources produced by persons who are members of the respective group that the resource is for. We understand that many individuals may belong to multiple intersecting identities, and that these categories do not encompass all marginalized groups, or who may have specific considerations when searching for careers.聽

We thank 聽for their assistance in creating this page of resources.
