Toronto

Ryerson University and the University of Toronto were hosting the summit on their campuses in the heart of downtown.

Today, Toronto is the capital of the province of Ontario and is home to over 2.7 million people. An international centre of finance, art, food and culture, Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world.

Downtown is easily accessible by train, with service on the UP Express taking you from Pearson International Airport to downtown Union Station in 25 minutes. Getting around the city is easy via cab, ridesharing services, walking, or by transit. The TTC, which operates Toronto transit system, won the 2017 American Public Transportation Association’s award for Transit System of the Year.

Ask your colleagues. Take it for a test drive. Contact valmatta@careershift.com


“CareerShift goes above and beyond the functions of your standard jobsite… it breaks the mold. Unlike stereotypical job sites, CareerShift incorporates networking functions, allowing its users to identify and contact individuals within a specific company and field. I wasn’t bound to a cycle of waiting to hear back from employers, rather I was given the tools to be in the driver’s seat and contact them myself. I could tell that this effort was appreciated, and it couldn’t have been done without the resources that CareerShift provided.”
Erin Brown, Alumni, Rutgers

“It has been an invaluable resource for our students who are looking for internships, for our seniors searching for jobs, and for our alumni who are going through career transitions. CareerShift teaches job seekers that there are multiple facets to a successful search – it just isn’t enough to look for a job. The most successful candidate researches companies within their desired industry, looks for jobs in those companies, and connects with contacts who work for those companies. CareerShift does it all.”
 
Kim Crabbe, Executive Director, Career Development Center, Skidmore College

Benefits many stakeholders on campus:

  • Job seekers find their opportunities through referrals
  • Alumni conduct confidential searches
  • Career Services build their external employer contacts
  • Used in classroom to teach strategic career management
  • Easily integrated within the institution’s portals (single sign-on)
  • Launched quickly
