Moving Online at CAPS: Your U of A Career Centre
By Blessie Mathew
Over the past few years, CAPS: Your U of A Career Centre, the central career services office at the University of Alberta, has entered the world of online learning. The process involved continued thought and effort around issues like determining the demand for online services and structuring and positioning online learning to balance with and, in some cases, enhance in-person services. We were also compelled to find ways for staff with varying technological expertise to learn new technology, create high-quality career education and translate their advising and facilitation skills to a new environment, all while maintaining previously existing responsibilities.
