Career Services
CPLED provides support to help you succeed in your articling search and beyond. Services are available to eligible participants across Canada, including internationally trained lawyers (ITLs), Canadian common law graduates seeking articles, aspiring lawyers working towards a Certificate of Qualification (CQ) through the National Committee on Accreditation (NCA), and PREP candidates.
Services for PREP Candidates
As part of your PREP tuition, you gain access to complimentary services designed to support your professional development, including:
- Articling Search Advising: Those enrolled in PREP have access to free articling search support if you have not yet secured a student-at-law role. This includes: resume and cover letter reviews, job search strategy and networking guidance, LinkedIn profile optimization, and interview preparation.
- PREP Connect: A mentorship program linking job-seeking candidates with PREP alumni from previous intakes who secured articles after entering PREP.
- PREP Recess: Networking opportunities with classmates for all PREP candidates.

Services for Non-PREP Candidates
Articling Assist provides similar articling search advising as candidates enrolled in PREP for a fee. This program is open to law students anywhere in Canada, including ITLs at any stage of the qualification process. If you later enroll in PREP, your fee is credited towards your tuition.
