Choosing a college or university can be difficult, especially when you don’t know what kind of career you want. SetYourCourse.ca is Manitoba’s go-to resource for help with choosing the career you want and planning the Manitoba-based education that will help prepare you for it.

Set Your Course is a career information website that holds occupational insight on over 400 careers. We provide stats on the demand for different jobs, their wage ranges, and a description of what they entail. We also link you to programs offered by the different institutions in Manitoba.

Whether you are in high school and thinking about your future, or ready to change your career, Set Your Course has the information you need to make smart decisions. Below we have rounded up some tips from our Campus Manitoba team to help make Set Your Course work for you.

1. Start Browsing!

If you’re unsure where to begin, your best bet is to start poking around the site and see everything that is available. It can be overwhelming to decide on which careers you want to learn more about, so the ‘Discover Careers’ section is an excellent place to start. Ever wonder what a Veterinarian gets paid?

Let’s be honest – career planning is overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. Our site links both you and your parents to a variety of resources to help reduce some of the stress that goes along with making decisions about your future.

The help desk navigators have years of experience working with students and our partner institutions. They can point you to resources on the websites of many different institutions and government websites, such as Student Aid and Immigration.
