The Professional and Career Development Record (PCDR) is a tool built into Experience Guelph launched in November 2021. The PCDR formally recognizes a student’s involvement in on- and off- campus professional and career development activities, most notably experiential learning.

The University of Guelph recognizes professional and career development as the unique and sometimes overlapping aspects of:

• Academic Programme Learning and Curricular Experiential Learning, established by faculty and academic curriculum committees, and supported through the institutional quality assurance process.
• Co-curricular Experiential Learning, offered by departments across all divisions of the U of G, and supported through the Co-curricular Experiential Learning Integrity Committee.
• Career and Professional Development, offered through the Experiential Learning Hub and academic departments.

Join the Experiential Learning Hub to learn about the purpose and benefits of the PCDR; the critical components of a validated experience; how to use the Experience Guelph catalogue to search for validated opportunities; and how to locate resources on the PCDR Online Resource Centre.
