Topic: The University’s Career Services is a student-focused provider of career assistance and is available to students currently enrolled and to eligible graduates. You have access to additional resources online 24 hours a day, and experienced Career Services staff will collaborate with you to create and implement career plans by providing support and advice.

Recognizing that career development is an ongoing, lifelong process, the Career Services team strives to help you understand the importance of self-assessment, occupational exploration, decision making, goal setting, networking, the job search, and developing productive connections in the workplace. Career Services offers a collaborative link between students, faculty, and prospective employers within the global employment community. Career Services fosters a welcoming, accessible environment where diversity is celebrated and the uniqueness of each individual is valued and respected.

The Career Services staff will assist in your job search. Many students choose to work on a part-time basis during their training to help with their education costs. If you require assistance in securing part-time employment while attending classes, Career Services will make reasonable efforts to assist in your search. Additional services include assistance with job search planning, resume and cover letter review, interview preparation, decision making, job offer negotiations, and various other job search and career-related issues.

Career services offered by the University are not an obligation or guarantee of employment. Although the University will assist you, finding a job is ultimately your responsibility. The University does not guarantee that you will be placed in any particular job, or at all. Some jobs may require additional training or certification.

Although average starting wage information based on data received from employers and graduates may be available to prospective students, no employee of the University is authorized to guarantee that a graduate will earn any specific amount. Your program of study, employer needs, current economic conditions, and other factors may affect wage levels.
