Education Career Services
The Faculty of Education's commitment to assisting graduates in their efforts to find employment is demonstrated by the existence of a full-time on-site Education Career Services office for the primary use of Education students. Year-round, Education Career Services staff are available to respond to candidates' questions and concerns of all kinds, including advice on hiring procedures, help with preparation of applications and résumés and with preparing for interviews. The advice offered is based on up-to-date placement statistics and an informed view of educational trends, ensuring that graduates have the information necessary for an effective job search. Furthermore, Education Career Services facilitates contacts between hiring officials and graduates through such activities as job fairs, information sessions, on-campus recruiting and a placement service after graduation. This job search assistance is reflected in the high proportion of Queen's graduates able to secure employment, and in the interesting variety of placements reported.
 
Education Career Services takes a broad view of career opportunities for educators, which includes, but is not limited to, teaching in Ontario's classrooms. While most of the teaching placements are in southern Ontario, some graduates prefer to teach in the north or in other provinces. In addition, because the Faculty of Education has developed and maintained extensive international contacts and resources, each year a substantial number of graduates accept teaching positions overseas. Other graduates also choose employment in education-related fields. Education Career Services, through its network, resources and expertise is in a position to support a wide range of educational career aspirations.
