Be career ready.

Once a Jimmie, always a Jimmie. That means the career support you received when you were a student doesn’t stop after receiving your diploma. Whether you just graduated, you’re looking to make a career change, or you want to help current students on their career path, we have the resources you need.

Where to start?

Consider completing a post-graduation survey. Your responses are sincerely appreciated and contribute to our knowledge of UJ graduates’ professional and academic outcomes.
