Through Career Services, we are supporting an Indigenous Career Consultant position at University of Manitoba. The Indigenous Career Consultant supports students in figuring out their future! Helping students connect their interests to occupations, determine the degree path that suits their unique occupational goals, make informed career choices, find experiential learning opportunities, or build excellent job search strategies.

This position works out of the Career Service office, but also provides drop-in services at Migizii Agamik on a bi-weekly basis (September to April). The Indigenous Career Consultant collaborates with Indigenous student groups and programs across campus to provide career development workshops that cater to Indigenous students' needs.

The Indigenous Career Consultant liaisons and supports work with external employers who are looking to connect and recruit Indigenous Students. This position assists employers by supporting job postings, discussing recruitment strategies, as well as collaborating in event planning such as the Mini Indigenous Career Fair.

This position is also responsible for the Indigenous Career Mentor Program. The Indigenous Career Mentor Program (ICMP) was designed as an extension to Career Services existing Career Mentor Program. The goal of ICMP is to connect Indigenous students with Indigenous professionals in the community for career guidance and industry information. Mentors may share their personal experiences and provide advice to students on how to navigate career opportunities and challenges.
