McMaster Student Success Centre offers many resources to assist students in planning their career path including review books, directories, and industry magazines. The online portal (OSCAR) connects students to job postings for students and alumni from all Faculties. Students are also able to meet with individuals working in a particular industry and ask questions about qualifications, how to get their foot in the door, and how to prepare for employment interviews through the MentorLinks mentoring program that connects students with a professional who is employed in a field the student may wish to pursue.
