Connecting Laurier Alumni with Employers
The Alumni Employment Service is a job posting and resumé referral service offered by the Career Centre to meet the customized job search needs of WLU alumni. Positions posted through this Service have immediate availability.
How does the Alumni Employment Service (AES) Operate?
The AES operates similar to an employment agency but is exclusively for Laurier alumni. Each year, employers seeking qualified candidates contact the Career Centre to advertise more than 1700 immediate job openings. In response to these requests, qualified alumni registered with the Service are notified of the positions that meet their job search criteria to determine their interest in the role. If interested in those positions, alumni submit their application material to the Employment Specialist for referral to employers. At times, based on the employer’s requirements, alumni registrants may also receive notices of job postings to apply directly to the employer.
Who is eligible?
Laurier alumni from all disciplines and with varying levels of experience may register with the Alumni Employment Service. This includes very recent graduates seeking their first full-time position as well as graduates who have a lengthier employment history and are looking for a career and/or job change. You do not have to be unemployed to be eligible for the Service, but you must be actively seeking employment.
Note: Students in their graduating year may register with the Service for a free trial period as of May 1 for graduates convocating in June and as of mid-July for graduates convocating in October.
What types of jobs are posted?
A wide variety of career opportunities become available in organizations which vary from non-profit to small/medium businesses and multi-nationals. These organizations are located primarily within Ontario, but requests from other locations across the country also occur. The Alumni Employment Service receives job postings daily from employers looking for candidates from a variety of academic disciplines. Positions range from entry-level to senior management.
