Thinking Ahead to Post-Graduate Employability
Here at Lifelong Collab, we hear from our many students that they want not only to be gainfully employed but in a career that pays well in order to pursue their heart’s desire. We understand this need and how studying abroad comes into the picture.
When choosing a program, employability is one of the most important factors for students. The employability rate of a course or program refers to the number of students most likely to gain employment upon graduating in their program.The Canadian Job Bankhas provided data on employability statistics, which can help students decide on a course/program of study.
