Career Services

Preparing students for lifelong careers

Career services supports career preparedness by encouraging career advising, career development and counseling, programming, and continued instruction. 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 skillsets. Engaging with career services allows students an opportunity to apply academic competencies acquired in the classroom to experiential opportunities offered by industry leaders.
