Our Career Pathways preparation program takes students through four stages of personal exploration and career development we call the Career Milestones. We help students gain the skills and experiences they need to be successful and to build a strong network within their Pathway, a network that will provide them with industry insight and help them land meaningful jobs.
Explore five distinctive career communities: Business and Finance, Creative Arts and Communication, Law and Public Service, Science and Health Care, and Build Your Own.
We are dedicated to helping our students navigate the changing landscape of career planning during these challenging times. Stay connected with recruiting trends, learn how to conduct a job and internship search remotely, and find opportunities to gain professional skills and experience through our virtual resources.
Students can schedule virtual appointments as well as drop in to Virtual Express Advising every weekday 11a.m.-1p.m. CT, no appointment required.
