We are here to work with you at all stages of your occupational journey.....exploring options...... taking those first steps.....coping with job loss or career transition....and preparing for retirement.
Where are you going and how do you plan to get there?
Career planning should be considered a life-long process with a strong emphasis on knowledge of self. Historically it has been viewed as a four step process:
- Choosing an occupation,
- Getting the first job,
- Developing within the job,
- Changing jobs/occupations, and
- Preparing for retirement.
The current financial climate calls for another step - coping with job loss. All of the steps are built on the foundation of understanding who you are in terms of interests, values, skills, and preferences. Understanding these facets of who you are supports a life balanced by job satisfaction and fulfilling leisure activities.

His Pioneering Spirit Lives on ...
The Brian Burland Centre for Research is a powerful commitment to the future of Bermudian literature honouring the contribution of a great, but largely unknown, son of the soil.
Brian Burland's fellow writer and friend, Ronald Lightbourne, once suggested that "It would be criminal for another generation of Bermudians to grow up without knowing his work." Creating this Centre began with the Burland family's generous endowment to the Bermuda College.
The Centre features two components - a "vault" which houses the catalogued papers and artwork and a Reading Room, where students, scholars and researchers can access the materials. The vault is climate-controlled and large enough to accommodate other collections that the College hopes to acquire in the future. The Reading Room, while essentially for study, is also a place that celebrates the pioneering nature of Brian Burland's work. As part of this, the College commissioned one of Bermuda's foremost artists, and Bermuda College alumnus, Graham Foster, to paint a mural - with the unique idea of one fine artist interpreting the work of another.
