Career, Internship & Student Employment Services is committed to the career education of students, which includes helping them evaluate their interests and values and development of key career competencies that will prepare them for the world of work. We know parents play an important role in their professional and personal growth and many students still seek advice and guidance from their parents regarding their career and professional development. We want to provide resources and information to parents so they are able to offer the best information possible to their child.

Our goal is to teach lifelong career decision-making and planning skills. To ensure students are ready to enter the workforce with confidence and competence, we offer a wide-variety of services.
