Calendar of Events
The Career Development Office is here to assist all students—whether you're taking classes on campus or online—in preparing for a successful career. We focus on helping you develop the eight career competencies that are endorsed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). When hiring new graduates, employers seek applicants with these skills and proficiencies.
Take a step toward building these competencies by attending a career fair or participating in other career-oriented activities!
