New course on RISE: Peer Career Discovery Program

The Peer Career Discovery Program comes from a collaboration between McGill’s Career Planning Services and the Desjardins Centre for Advanced Training and is adapted for the MyRoad platform. Its mission is to guide you in your career exploration. In the program, you will conduct self-assessments and self-reflections with the goal of gaining insight into your strengths, interests and career preferences. You will use these insights and career research to identify career options that suit you best and discard career options that do not.
