Student Life: Career Development
To gain information about themselves in relation to the world of work, students are encouraged to analyze their personal interests and abilities so that both short-term and long-range plans can be formulated and pursued. Exploring alternatives, making choices and implementing action plans are essential components of the career development process. To facilitate this process, the Career Development staff provides individual guidance on a variety of career-related issues.
The career library serves as an excellent source of information about various career choices and specific career fields. Information is available for exploring majors, identifying internship opportunities, job searching, interviewing and pursuing graduate or professional study. The Career Development Web site also contains information on majors and careers, specific job and internship opportunities, general information about the job search process and graduate school information services.
Programs and services are continually provided to assist students throughout their college education in attaining their professional goals. This type of support covers topics such as skill and interest assessment, securing internships, gaining entry into advanced study programs, job search preparation and interviewing.
The Office of Career Development works closely with other College resources, including faculty, to disseminate information and promote activities that facilitate the career development process.
