What We Do

The CareerCenter assists students and alumni with career planning, occupational exploration, job search strategies, graduate school decision-making, and internship programs.  All students are encouraged to use the resources of the Career Center.  In addition to the professional staff, the office offers computer career guidance programs.  A weekly on-line newsletter is published and serves as a principal tool for alerting students to employment opportunities, recruiting schedules, and workshops.  The CareerCenter Online is an on-line resource which allows students to post resumes, search for jobs and internships, research companies, and view other career related topics.  For employers, Career Center Online is a tool to post jobs and search for job candidates.
 

Mission Statement

The CareerCenter mission is to coach, empower, prepare and assist students as they pursue the career development and job search process to become the best career ready applicant in a global and dynamic world of work.  The CareerCenter collaborates with companies, area colleges, community partners, faculty, alumni and staff to assist Western New England College students to become world ready citizens.
