Career Development Center

Empowering your career aspirations

Once you’ve decided upon an area of career interest and an academic major, it’s time to team up with our Career Development Center to bring your professional ambitions to life.

You might think career development is about searching for jobs and working on your resume...

That’s just the beginning! Our dedicated advisors work closely with you, and your career counselor, to develop a plan that will power you on your career journey.

1. Discover Yourself 
   Do you want a job or a career? What does professional success look like to you? How are you preparing for that success? Asking yourself these questions can be difficult, but our advisors believe in a one-on-one approach to get to the heart of what you want your future to look like.

2. Explore Options
   With all the resources available today, a little help can go a long way. Our advisors help you sift through information and experiences to take real steps toward deciding on a career plan.

3. Make Choices
   Let us help you put together a career plan for today and tomorrow—one that starts you off on the right foot and keeps you on the right track to get you where you want to go.

4. Take Action
   Once you have a direction, go after it! Take advantage of internships and study abroad opportunities, build your personal brand on social media, and attend career fairs and campus events to connect with employers looking for candidates like you.

A Lifelong Connection

And even though your education ends, our career encouragement doesn’t. Resources at the Career Development Center are available to alumni at no cost. So stay in touch, share your stories and let us assist you along the way—we believe in your ability to succeed!
