Career Advisors assist students in making informed decisions about their long-term career planning and strategies to gain experience and build workplace skills during their time as a student. Career Advisors help students assess and identify their abilities, interests, values, and skills through formal and informal assessments.

They assist students with a variety of career topics, including exploration, long-term career planning, application materials, job search strategies, interview preparation, networking, and graduate and professional school planning. In addition to one-on-one career advising, Career Advisors support students through workshops, presentations, career-related events, and other campus events. Career Advisors stay up to date on career education research and economic and industry trends, so they can provide students with accurate and timely information and guidance.
