Most career colleges also include a module on Career Strategies within every course of study. Perhaps the most comprehensive Career Strategies module that we encountered was that offered by the Saskatoon Business College. The topics covered in the SBC Career Strategies module may be found in the Guide under Appendix A.

It was refreshing to observe a class as they watched their videotaped mock employment interviews. There was no need for negative instructor feedback because the students could readily see weak points by watching the video together. This allowed the instructor to provide only positive feedback to the class in general and to individual students in particular. As a result, the exercise was seen by students to be a fun and rewarding learning experience.

Students enrolled at SBC must complete a portfolio of their work for their career strategies course. Each portfolio is evaluated by the instructor before being edited and fine tuned by the student. Students are then coached as to when and how to best present their portfolio during a job interview. The completed portfolio is an impressive and highly effective tool in the hands of the graduating student seeking employment.
