Graduates find employment in a wide range of occupations

When applying to postsecondary education, students and parents can find themselves grappling with the weighty decision of selecting the right program.

However, the reality is that most careers are not linear, and the skills and knowledge gained from various academic disciplines can be applied to an array of occupations.

The interactive graph in the link below illustrates the many ways in which university studies can lead to a range of career paths post-graduation.
