Referring Students/Alumni
Faculty and staff are encouraged to refer students to The Center for Career Development. We work with undergraduate and graduate students along with alumni. We can:

• Help the students identify their interests, skills, and values including the use of career assessments, when appropriate. We use the Strong Interest Inventory and as well as other assessment tools
• Help students explore possible careers related to their major
• Assist with the job and internship search and preparation
• Teach resume writing, cover letter writing, and interviewing skills
• Critique resumes, cover letters, and other job search letters
• Conduct mock interviews 
• Help students find resources that could help them to apply to graduate and professional schools

• Encourage employers, possibly alumni, who may contact you directly, to participate in our recruiting program and to register with our job, internship/resume database system.

• Request a presentation. Some topics include: office services, career decision making, resume and cover letter writing, job search, interviewing but we can customize a presentation/program to meet your needs. We can come to your classroom or you can bring your class to our location.
• Don’t cancel your class. If you anticipate a need to cancel class, let us know and we may be available to visit your class and discuss a career related topic with your students.
• Request a tour of The Center for Career Development.

Post Graduation Activities

• Student Outcomes - Employment and Graduate Schools
• Do you know where your students are? When we follow the successes of our graduates, we find that we can more effectively assist our current students with understanding career options. If you learn of the post graduation plans of a student, we would be grateful if you would share that information with us.

How Career Development can Support Faculty

• Faculty play an important role in helping students understand and gain career readiness competencies in their classes.  Faculty can include language in their syllabi that demonstrate how students may attain one or more of the 8 Career Readiness Competencies as defined by NACE.  These are skills that all employers are looking for. For more information, these resources are helpful:
• Career Road Map
•  
• CTE Career Development Faculty Workshop
