Student Employment Services is pleased to be participating in a national research study of student interests and attitudes regarding their careers and employers.  The resulting report will help employers better understand how to attract and hire students and graduates while also helping us learn how to better serve you with career planning support.

All respondents to the survey are eligible to enter a draw for a $500 Best Buy Gift Card.

All responses will be treated as confidential and not be associated with your identity in any way. 

You can start the survey here: research.brainstorm.ca
