King’s University College first in Canada to offer international students access to customized student support platform

WITH A AIM to allow its international students to stay, work and succeed in Canada, King’s University College has announced a partnership with Toronto-based Devant Group, a HR training and coaching service that specializes in helping international students and alumni showcase their skills and experiences in the Canadian job market.

King’s is the first university in Canada to offer Devant’s customized international student support platform to international students as part of its enrolment package. The platform will give students access to a range of resources, including online educational modules and temples, virtual hiring expos, live seminars, plus access to immigration legal advice and professional networking events.

“We are very pleased to partner with Devant to enhance the career education and employer engagement for our international students which complements our existing services at King’s,” says Joe Henry, dean of students, King’s University College. “This collaboration will provide another important pathway for students to highlight the competencies gained here at King’s to employers here in London and across Canada.”

Founded in 2019 by four professionals with 60-plus years of experience working in higher education and career development, Devant has since helped thousands of international students and alumni across the country to successfully showcase their skills and experiences in the job market by helping them gain a strong understanding of the Canadian labour market, begin planning their career launch early in their studies and charting a clear pathway to permanent residency.
