Career Center: About Us

The Career Center is a comprehensive office designed to service the needs of all students and alumni. The Career Center assists students in their career planning and development by offering individual career advising, programming and testing. Students are encouraged to visit the Career Center for help in choosing a major, finding a summer job, internship, part-time/or full-time employment and graduate schools. A career advisor will work with all students providing exposure to career options through a full service career and occupational library, paper-based interest inventories and computer-based career development tools and Internet resources.

Resources
The Career Center houses many resources, both paper and computer, to find graduate/professional school information and employment opportunities. In addition, the Career Center provides the necessary test materials for application to a variety of graduate and professional programs including: General Record Exam (GRE), Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), Law School Admission Test (LSAT) and the PRAXIS (formerly the National Teachers Examination NTE).

Recruiting/Job Fairs
The Career Center co-sponsors, with other institutions, a variety of career fairs throughout the year. The Career Center participates in the Columbus Recruiting Consortium, Teacher Recruitment Consortium, CareerFest, and the Stark County Job Fair to name a few. In addition, the Career Center hosts on-campus employers from business, industry and manufacturing.

The Career Center maintains a database of employment and internship opportunities year round and informs students of these opportunities via the Job Board, e-mail and newsletters.
