Becoming YU

What is Becoming YU?

Becoming YU provides students with a framework to set meaningful goals, identify the skills they want to develop to achieve those goals and provide them with tools to reflect on and track their progress. Through Becoming YU students will recognize the value of their experiences, have greater clarity about their leadership and career goals, and articulate their skills and accomplishments with confidence!

Becoming YU includes a series of online modules that students can complete throughout their time at York as they engage in a variety of experiences. These modules are linked to York University’s experiential learning platform where students can apply to a full range of jobs and experiential learning opportunities, register for programs and activities that support their personal, academic, and professional development, and reflect upon and track their skills development.

Benefits Of Becoming YU


Self-Awareness for Goal Setting

Learn to set goals that align with your values and aspirations.


Maximizing Opportunities

Leverage experiences, build connections, and navigate challenges for success.


Showcasing Skills

Effectively present your skills and achievements across different contexts.

Please Note: While Becoming YU is designed to be self-driven in which students set goals which they work toward by gaining experiences and building key competencies throughout their time at York, the key to success is reflection – taking the time to make meaning of their experiences and skills development. Therefore we encourage students to check-in regularly with a supervisor, mentor or coach to receive guidance and support and encourage accountability.
