Defining Your Unique Path
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 that will provide them with industry insight and help them land meaningful jobs.

“
The Career Advancement Center was extremely helpful. They helped me land every internship that I got prior to graduating. They helped me get my foot in the door in my current role. They helped me with my interviews, my cover notes, and my resume. So, I definitely feel that in working with the Career Advancement Center, I put a lot of work into them, and they gave me that exact energy right back.
