Choosing the right course

There are many ways to a career, and many different courses on offer. Deciding the right bridge to your future can be difficult. We feel that the decision to choose a particular course should be a cooperative venture involving the student, parents and the professional counselor.

The Career Counsellors and the WLC faculty provide assistance to students and parents in making decisions about courses and units of study. Counselors are available to discuss courses, career goals and vocational and educational options at the Career Management Centre (CMC). Students are encouraged to set goals, look at their options realistically and assess their positions regarding their future. They can also discuss a change of direction in their study programs with the Career Counsellors.

Choosing the right job

One of the most important goals of all WLC students is to select the right job after graduation. The WLC Career Management Center works closely with students to help them identify and pursue the career paths best suited to their interests and skills, in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. Students are provided résumé advice, self-assessment workshops, videotaping of simulated interviews, and extensive one-on-one access to Career Counselors to discuss job-search strategies.

CMC makes personal contact with employers in every major industry to create new opportunities for WLC students by raising awareness of the quality of our students. The CMC is extremely successful in bringing organisations and students together and most graduates are employed with their traineeship industry partners or within a few months of receiving their qualifications.

Recruiting companies

The high calibre of our students makes WLC as a preferred source of recruitment by our industry partners. Wigan Graduates were placed with Transnational and leading Indian companies such as:
