Job Placement
The Job Placement Office is a unit of the Student Personnel Services Department, which assists students and alumni in their academic, career, personal and social development.
The Job Placement Office supports the academic goals of the college through our programs and services. We help students and alumni gain practical experience and prepare for today’s competitive job market. Our office provides placement assistance for part-time, full-time, summer, internship and volunteer positions free of charge. From personalized advisement to group workshops on job readiness skills, we strive to help our students and alumni become more marketable and reach their career goals.
Scheduling an appointment is not required. However, we recommend that you schedule an appointment if you would like to meet with a counselor.
