Today, Careego.com, Knightsbridge Human Capital Solutions' online career management tool, announced a partnership with Wilfrid Laurier University's Career Development Centre. Laurier students will now have access to Careego.com's leading edge career management technology through the school's award-winning career resource centre. Careego.com will provide students with expert career-related podcasts and videos and career-advice forums covering a range of topics including networking, resume help, cover letter writing, interview preparation, and salary negotiation.

'Wilfrid Laurier's Career Development Centre is always looking to provide our students with the best, most-effective career tools to help them enter and succeed in the workforce,' said Jan Basso, Director, Co-operative Education & Career Development, Wilfrid Laurier University. 'Partnering with Careego.com will allow our students access to additional career-related resources in an online environment.

As part of the agreement between Wilfrid Laurier and Careego.com, Wilfrid Laurier's Career Development Centre will provide Careego.com with student specific career information.
