Helping You along your Career Path

At City of Glasgow College you’ll get reliable and supportive careers guidance at all stages of your course to ensure that you’re on the right path and are able to achieve your goals. 
We can help you:

  • Choose a course that’s right for you.
  • Get information and apply for student funding.
  • Develop your employability skills.
  • Find work experience or a part time job.
  • Plan your next steps after college including further study at university.

We’ll support you to plan your career beyond graduation — and keep you informed of any suitable vacancies through our JobShop.  If you need help looking and applying for jobs you can book an appointment with us.

Careers Framework

We are dedicated to delivering high quality careers information, advice and guidance (CIAG) throughout your student journey and have developed a Careers Framework to ensure that you receive timely and effective CIAG. Our CIAG offer starts before you make an application and continues through all stages of transition. 

Advice Before You Apply

Remember - before you apply, help is freely available from one of our Careers Advisors here at the College, or you can also get some great advice from our partners at Skills Development Scotland (SDS). You can find your local SDS centre or access their web service My World of Work for lots of useful information and resources. 

Employability

Studying with us is about more than achieving a qualification, it’s also about getting a job you’ll enjoy and be good at. Throughout your time here, we'll help you to build your employability skills — that's the skills and personal attributes that make you more likely to get a job, do a good job or get a better job.

All our courses are designed to improve and enhance your employability skills in your chosen career field.
