Brock Student Experience Record

Your experience matters.

Experience is ingrained in our culture at Brock; within academic courses, out in the community and in the workplace. The Student Experience Record captures your unique experiences, documents your learnings and contributions, and positions you well for your first job and future career success.

The Student Experience Record is your platform for understanding, tracking and sharing your experiences in a comprehensive and dynamic way and is anchored in Brock’s 10 core competencies: 

  1. Apply knowledge 
  2. Think critically 
  3. Act innovatively 
  4. Communicate effectively 
  5. Know yourself 
  6. Collaborate effectively 
  7. Be curious 
  8. Engage with your community 
  9. Practice intercultural fluency 
  10. Surgite (resilience, push-on, grit) 

How does it work?

Your experiences are submitted and validated in the CareerZone system where you will reflect on the learning that occurred and the competencies you developed, enhanced or even mastered. Additionally, you will capture the hours you contributed to each experience, which will roll up to a total number of accumulated years of experience. Your competencies and contributed hours are then displayed on the record and can be shared with employers and other audiences.  

Why is it important?

  1. You will understand and articulate your experiences from a skills and competencies perspective to make more informed and timely career decisions. 
  2. You will identify skill and experience gaps and leverage the CareerZone platform to seek out opportunities that help you fill those gaps before graduation. 
  3. You will be more prepared to engage in a competitive job market and equipped with a solid foundation for career success. 
  4. You will overcome the dilemma of “needing a job to get experience; needing experience to get a job”.  

What can I track?
