The Career Planning & Job Placement Center provides services for students, alumni, businesses, and community members. We invite you to partner with us to explore career options, post job openings, practice interviewing techniques, and much more.
We offer a free online service in which students and graduates may view and apply for jobs
and internships and view upcoming job fairs. In addition, employers
can review and print resumes.
Career planning is a process that includes self-assessment, career exploration and information gathering. In targeting a specific goal, individuals can explore career preparation (training and/or gaining education), attainment of marketable skills and career management.
Individuals who need to decide or clarify a major, and individuals who need to identify new job possibilities, are highly encouraged to make use of this service.
The Career Planning Program is available and includes the following
features.
- Completion of two online assessments (Myers-Brigss Type Indicator
and the Strong Interest Inventory) you can do at home
- Completion of a workbook with exercises to assess values,
interests, passions, transferable skills and personality
- Individual counseling session to go over results of testing
and workbook
- Overview of all career resources in the Career Center
