Campus WorkLink now at Trent An Internet-based job posting system linking students and recent graduates with employers was officially launched at Trent on Sept. 21. Campus WorkLink is a nation-wide non-profit job posting database currently working with more than 75 post secondary institutions across Canada. For a nominal fee, Campus WorkLink gives employers the ability to post job opportunities in one step at any or all of the participating institutions. Trent University's agreement with Campus WorkLink is unique in that it marks the first time that Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC) has supported an institution's partnership with the job posting service. Students and recent graduates can look for full-time, part-time, seasonal or contract work as well as internships in virtually any Želd, 24 hours a day, from any computer with Internet access. WorkLink requires a username and password. Please contact the Counselling & Careers Centre (705) 748-1386 or e-mail campusworklink@trentu.ca to obtain Trent's username and password.
