This week, we’re talking about change—and let’s be real, higher ed in Canada is seeing a lot of it. Policy changes, layoffs, hiring freezes, retirement packages, strategic hiring… it’s a shifting landscape. We know it can feel overwhelming – but we also know that there is a lot to still do in the halls and classrooms on campus. So, what does that mean for you?
If you’re looking to grow, switch directions, or explore new opportunities, now is the time to think about transferable skills. A background in higher education is already a huge asset—it means you understand complex institutions, stakeholder management, and the art of navigating change. This is something that career coaches, WIL professionals and experts teach. Sometimes, it’s important to take a pause and reflect on what you tell others and how that can impact your own work and journey. So, we’re asking you: Where can you stretch? What skills can you leverage in new ways?
This week, we’ve combed through opportunities with a broader lens, highlighting roles adjacent to career and experiential education. We’re seeing growth in alumni relations, advancement, and community partnership development—all of which align well with the work many of us already do.
Check out this week’s career opportunities across Canada. If you hear Ross Geller yelling in your head, “PIVOT,” take some time to look at these roles and see what might be of interest to you. Moving a couch up a flight of stairs (or down, not sure what direction they were going) can be hard. Yet, when that couch has to be moved, pivoting is necessary to get the job done.
