The Career Center staff takes a developmental approach to career planning. Because careers develop over the entire life span, they take on the dual task of teaching the career planning process while at the same time assisting students in meeting their current needs. For most of our students, those current needs are focused on finding their first jobs and/or career-related experiences. To do so, the staff assists students in developing skills in self-assessment, resume preparation, interviewing, and uncovering job leads that will empower them to proactively manage their own careers.
