Career Success Certificate Program

Why a certificate program?

We often receive questions from students asking how they can “guarantee” themselves success after graduation or what exactly should they be doing at that point in their college career to ensure success. Although this program is NOT a guarantee or a specific endorsement of any one student over another, it is as close to a direct route towards career success as you can get. Why? It is a prescribed recommendation for each student on which services, programs, and events, offered by the University Career Center (and across campus) can help them through specific stages in their career planning. The program is effective for all majors and class levels. It also helps dispel the myth that career planning is something to do senior year. There is a lot of preparation, goal-setting, and experience that comes before graduation and this program will help you get there step-by-step.

What are the benefits?

We call this program the Career Success Certificate program, because we strongly feel by following this prescribed course of career development, you will significantly increase your chances of career success as you transition from college to career. Tangible benefits to participants include an official program certificate to be awrded at the completion of the program and the opportunity to list the awarded certificate on our resume for future employers or graduate/professional schools to see. Additionally, we will be spotlighting certificate program “graduates” on our student success story pages and hopefully using your stories to inspire future students.
