Career Services

A half-day orientation session is held prior to each term to provide students with the necessary tools and resources required to succeed in the program. 

At orientation, learn how to make the most of your learning experience by connecting with fellow students and faculty members in a casual environment. Gain insight into the student experience, such as how to manage a busy workload, and participate in a career building workshop lead by one-on-one career coach, Russell Garrett.

Every UBC DAP student has the benefit of a personal coach who can be called upon for face-to-face or online assistance with self-assessment, career path planning, job search skills and the transition to professional life. The coaching relationship begins at orientation and continues throughout the program.

A series of Career Development Workshops, offered in correspondence with the accounting recruitment cycle, can help you hone your career development skills and navigate the CPA Public Practice firm and industry application processes. 

The Sauder Business Career Centre’s online career management database, is available 24/7 and features job postings, event notices, and other career resource tools and materials.

Meet people in the industry and build your network by attending UBC DAP networking and recruitment events synchronized to the accounting profession recruitment cycle. 

Whether you participate through volunteering or simply attending an event, it pays to get involved with the UBC DAP Student Club. As an information resource on the CPA, the Club works to connect students with accounting professionals. Firms, associations, and other organizations look to the Club for assistance with their recruiting, networking, and informational objectives through a variety of events, including: Casino Night, Summer BBQ, Alumni Night, firm office tours, industry events and information sessions.

Recognizing that career management is a lifelong endeavour, the Sauder School offers Diploma and Degree graduates ongoing career support through the Sauder Alumni Career Services program. Alumni can take advantage of personal coaching, online resources, events, webinars and job postings.
