I'm trying to figure out which universities in Canada have the best employability for graduates. Any recommendations on which schools top the list? I'm interested in studying something business or tech-related, so any advice is appreciated!
Between the two fields of study you're interested in - business and tech - there are several Canadian universities known for outstanding graduate employment rates.
Starting with business:
1. University of British Columbia has a reputable Sauder School of Business. Their Bachelor of Commerce program is highly respected, with many graduates entering into successful careers across a variety of business sectors.
2. University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management is known globally for its strong emphasis on problem-solving and decision-making, making their graduates attractive to employers.
In terms of tech-related fields of study:
1. The University of Waterloo is known for its co-operative education (co-op) programs, specifically in Computer Science and Engineering. This gives students a blend of education and full-time work experience, leading to high employability after graduation. They have a vast network of over 7,100 employers for co-op placements.
2. Another strong contender is University of Toronto. Its computer science program is ranked highly both in Canada and internationally. The school's location in Canada's biggest tech hub offers countless networking and job opportunities.
Remember to look further than just overall rankings. Take into considerations factors like the quality of the specific program you're interested in, internship and co-op opportunities, campus culture, and location. It's crucial to find a university that's not just excellent academically, but also a good fit for you personally.
