Career Guidance and University Entrance
At UNISUS, we go beyond the norm to support students in choosing a career and university or college program that best suits their need. Our support program starts in the grade 8, we work with students to begin identifying the student's interests, what career might be suited for themselves as an individual, and which academic and extra-curricular programming will most empower them. The UNISUS approach to the university application process is holistic and uses the university search as a tool for further self-exploration.
Support team:
We support and empower students to discover what they need to be successful and navigate the university application process.
Students learn how to find solutions to what might seem like barriers and access scholarships and financial aid. Students know how to tell their story because we work together to help them find and use their voices.
University Counselling provides:
- Summer program application support
- Thorough explanation of application processes for domestic and international students
- Development of college/university application list based on student’s goals
Guidance for college/university visit planning and assistance with the application process including:
- Preparation for college/university admission interviews

The UNISUS 3 Tier Support System
1. Academic Program Integration - our career education courses guide students in choosing careers, setting goals, and interact with guest speakers in diverse career areas as well as from Universities and Colleges to build their knowledge and explore interests
2. Individual Coaching and Counselling - we work with each individual student to build the personal narrative and best fit solution for each individual, coaching them throughout the process of career and university choice that best fits them on all levels
3. Community Support - we believe it takes a community to define and set in motion a successful future. We create special events throughout the year to create that network of support for students.
What makes the UNISUS approach so unique?
- With a small ratio of students per counsellor, the level of individual support that we can provide each student is very high
- Our university and career guidance program is part of the UNISUS tuition. Most private schools charge up to 12k per year for this service
The career planning stage at UNISUS is incredible in guiding me in the pathways which is right for me, not only in terms of which career, but where to pursue my medical career and program, and what that means for my career. When I chose neuro-medicine, I then had to decide my pathway. I've decided to study in Mexico, where I can go straight into medicine vs 4 yr pre-med in Canada. I was also looking at Australia. With medicine I need to work where I study.
