Student Experience Record
Your experiences at university will be vast and unique. Through Brock’s Student Experience Record, we will help you understand and document what you have done, the skills and competencies you have developed, and the hours you have contributed towards your various experiences. These hours will eventually accumulate to become years of experience on a platform that is both dynamic and shareable with employers. As a student who graduates from Brock, you can demonstrate both the quantity and quality of experience you have gained in order to land a great first job.
