Why hire McGill students?
- For an employer, finding the right employees to help you prosper in today's economy is the hallmark of a successful organization. Whether your organization is small, medium, or large, consider advertising your permanent, summer, part-time, and internship opportunities for students and recent graduates FREE with us at CaPS by using our “myFuture” jobs database.
- Hundreds of McGill students each day check “myFuture” for job and internship postings. Be assured that our students are motivated to work hard; that they have good communication and interpersonal skills, and that they exhibit strong leadership qualities. They are a diverse and talented group of women and men and at least 30% are fluent in French and English. Many are multi-lingual.
Unpaid opportunities or opportunities requiring fees
CaPS does not post unpaid internships/opportunities unless the organization is not for profit. We may post unpaid internships for NGOs / NPOs, and these must be indicated as unpaid. Note that if your organization requires a fee for registration or participation, this must be indicated in the job description.
Upon approval, these opportunities will include the following statement:
A message from CaPS: CaPS does not guarantee that the university / your faculty will recognize this opportunity as an official internship. This is an unpaid or volunteer opportunity and/or requires a fee for participation. CaPS encourages students to evaluate the benefits of this type of opportunity for themselves, and to consult our office or Internships for more information.
Hiring McGill students for part-time and summer jobs
We encourage you to not only post your full-time jobs for graduating students but also your part-time and summer employment opportunities. At CaPS, we know that students are always on the lookout for part-time and summer employment to help finance themselves through university and to develop the skills employers are seeking.
Hiring McGill alumni with more than two years experience
While the McGill Career Planning Service (CaPS) works primarily with current students and alumni up to two years after they graduate, all McGill alumni can have access for life to the “myFuture” jobs database. At the present time, though, not many use it. If you are looking to recruit McGill alumni who have more than two years of work experience, we would recommend the following options:
- Post your opportunities on “myFuture”. But be aware that you may not get a strong response to your ad.
