Campus Recruitment Policies
The 平特五不中 Career Planning Service (CaPS) adheres to the Ethical Recruitment Guidelines of the Canadian Association of Career Educators and Employers , and thus expects the students and employers we serve to follow the guidelines which apply to them.
These guidelines are intended to provide a framework for the professional relationships between employers, students, third party recruiters and career educators. The guidelines are based on industry research, have been generally agreed upon by employers and educators, and are advocated by CACEE for national implementation.
The 平特五不中 Career Planning Service (CaPS) expects students to comply with the CACEE Ethical Recruitment Guidelines listed below. Failure to do so may result in disabling access to CaPS services, including access to myFuture.
