Whether you are a current student, alumni or not enrolled at all, the center for career services welcomes all who would like the skills to impress a future employer.

Cheryl L. Harvey, the director of the Center for Career Success, said the goal is “to get students career-ready to start a career and sustain for a lifetime.”

Center for career services offers a number of ways to help prepare students before it is time to meet future employers.

Center for career services offer an array of programs, resources, and connections to ensure there are career opportunities for all. The office helps students update their resumes before graduation, build resumes if the student does not have one, and assist with job searching.

For those nervous or under confident for an upcoming interview, the center for career services  offers mock interviews and resources to find the proper attire for interviews.

The center for career success also ensures the employees reach students by having a career fair in the fall and winter semesters, bringing more than 70 employers to campus.

“We are making a pipeline for high wage and high demand careers,” Harvey said.

The office holds bi-monthly virtual connections with featured employers. Center for career success is also the go-to office for apprenticeship, internships and work study.

“Students are encouraged to utilize Handshake to search and apply for jobs and internships,” Harvey said. Handshake is a website the center of career services utilize for students search and apply for jobs.

Students are invited to come into the office to discuss career paths anytime, regardless of how far into their studies they are.

The upcoming career fair is Feb. 28, from 4 to 6 p.m. and is open to all students, alumni and the community.
