Career Services helps students be career ready. Staff work with students to craft a resume, practice interviewing and apply to graduate school. Services include helping students choose a major and establish career goals using personality, interest and values inventories, gain relevant experience through internships and dress professionally with the suit bank. One of the major events for Career Services is the upcoming career fair.
The spring fair will be held Tuesday, March 6, in the Laughlin Health Building from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. and gives students and community members the opportunity to connect with more than 90 employers and graduate programs.
The Career Center is located on the ground floor of the Camden-Carroll Library.
