The program will be phased in over a period of 1 - 2 years and will ultimately result in a service that enables students to meet with alumni in person or communicate electronically and receive information and advice about a career of interest to them. The first stage of the program was the creation of a booklet containing smaples of careers and advice from alumni, staff and friends of the College. The booklet, used very successfully in counseling over the past two years, was designed to provide students with suggestions on what they can do with various programs offered in the faculty of Arts and Science at U of T. Discussion groups with alumni is another aspect of the program that is being developed.
Students sharing similar career interests meet with graduates working in the field.
In April of 2000, some students interested in pursuing law met over lunch with Timothy Ryan , an Innis graduate of 1992, now Vice-President, RBC Securities. Plans for discussion groups for this year are currently underway.
