Newcomer advising

Please note:

If you are a domestic Conestoga student, you must first book an appointment with a Career Services Advisor to access career services through the Community Career Centre.

If you are an international Conestoga student or a graduate on a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), career services are not available through the Community Career Centre. Instead, visit Career Services in the Student Success Portal or email talenthub@conestogac.on.ca for support.
