Resource Centres
offer answers

elping students with questions about careers

or studies? Staff from the College’s Career

Resource Centres (CRC) in New
Westminster and the Thomas Haney Centre remind
you the sites can provide a lot of valuable
information.

For students planning to attend other institutions,
the centres offer a comprehensive collection of
university and college calendars from Canada and
abroad.

For students seeking a career, the CRC maintains
profiles on careers and employers, including those
linked to specific Douglas College programs.

“To assist students finishing a diploma in
Criminology, for example, we maintain files from
agencies such as the RCMP, Vancouver Police or
Canada Customs,” says New Westminster CRC
Coordinator Valerie Gobeil. “Material can include

 

information such as what can be expected in a
typical day on the job, salary levels, and hiring
statistics.”

Detailed information on many Douglas College
programs is available on audio tapes. Other CRC
resources include self-help books (which can be
borrowed), job-search material, videos, and
government career-projection studies. The full index
of CRC resources is accessible on Gold on the
College’s computer network (contact Systems and
Computing to register).

The centres are primarily utilized by Douglas
College students, but are also open to the public.
Resources available at the two sites may vary. For
