Value of participating in co-curricular experiences

Becoming involved in co-curricular university experiences will help you: 

• Build up and complement your resumé with hands-on work experience. 

• Complement your classroom academics to help build your employability skills.

• Demonstrate your personal growth to enhance your skills and commitment to holistic learning.

• Discover the types of work-related experiences you're passionate about and guide your future learning. 

• Highlight your initiative and dedication to becoming involved within the Ontario Tech community.

We know as a student, you're committed to your studies and may have obligations outside of your courses that are important to you, or required of you. Therefore, your SER will help you to further demonstrate your soft and industry-related skills, giving you a competitive edge in the job market while allowing you to draw on solid co-curricular experiences that can be connected to any upcoming interviews.
