Who we are – how can we help?
Career Services offers services and resources that help students and alumni research and develop the direction that will be most fulfilling to them in their education and future careers. Our services can help students better understand who they are, what they want to do professionally and what steps they need to take to get there. Seeing a Career Coach early and often is the most crucial step towards achieving this goal and feeling confident in one’s career direction.

Major universities use Handshake and students who transfer can take their account with them without having to create a new account.
Career Boutique: Students have access to complimentary professional clothing, such as shoes, and other accessories for job/career interviews, which they return after. We also accept donations to the Career Boutique at the Career Services Office at the Taylorsville Redwood Campus.
