Book an appointment with Career Services!
In light of COVID-19 and its continuing impact, we want our students and the Tri-Cities community to know that your health and safety is our top priority. We are committed to being here for you in an online format, and providing you with relevant resources for the times we are in. Please feel free to access our services virtually by setting up an appointment via e-mail. We are happy to meet with you over the phone or video conference call, and will guide you through the steps.
Career services supports career learning and preparedness by encouraging students to take advantage of advising and programming opportunities. Our plan is for students to comprehend and prepare for trends that are related to local hiring efforts, while setting goals aligned with their values, interests, personality and skill sets. Engaging with career services allows students an opportunity to apply academic competencies acquired in the classroom to experiential opportunities offered by industry leaders.

For spring 2021, WSU Tri-Cities community members will be able to request one of the following workshops and specify any areas of special interest or focus to best meet the needs of the group requesting the workshop.

WSU Tri-Cities partnered with the Association of Washington Business, the Tri-City Regional Chamber of Commerce and Columbia Basin College to launch a new Workforce Portal that will help connect students with internships and other career opportunities.
