A special message for our McGill Graduates (Bachelor degree of 2024)
Please take a few minutes to respond to the Destination Survey invitation you will receive at your McGill email. You are helping current and prospective students gain insights into the career trajectories of recent graduates.
Your responses will shed light on the diverse career paths you've pursued, the factors driving your choices, and your overall career satisfaction. Your participation is voluntary and confidential. The information gained from this survey will be compiled and made available on the CaPS website (https://www.mcgill.ca/caps/publications/destinationsurvey), and to current students/staff in the form of summaries.
We thank you for your time and participation, and any questions can be directed to the contacts listed in the email.
The purpose of the Destination Survey is to gain a better understanding of:
- What recent McGill undergraduates are doing up 12-18 months post graduation
- Where they are currently located
- Their student experience at McGill
- The job search strategies they used
- Their career satisfaction
