The Career Development and Employment Services (CDES) office assists
you in formulating a career development plan that will permit you to put
your education to work in a satisfying and rewarding career field.
CDES provides services that help you develop and implement your career plan.
Services include career counseling, part-time employment, cooperative education,
job search workshops, full-time job interviews (held on campus), and career
information. This service is free to enrolled students and is available
to alumni for a nominal fee.
To receive assistance, telephone 278-2381 for an appointment or see
a counselor for consultation on a walk-in basis.
Undergraduate and Continuing Student Career Services. Ideally, the
career decision-making process should begin as soon as you enter the
university. Consider talking with a counselor who will assist you in making
your career decision by directing you to the appropriate service: career
testing, workshops, computerized guidance systems, and/or career information.
Other resources available include Career Day, the Career Information Network,
and the Resource Center. These services and resources will help you select
a major and career goal compatible with your career interest.
Undergraduate Employment. Whether you're looking for a part-time
or summer job to help you with expenses or a work experience that will help
you prepare for your career, the CDES offers a number of undergraduate employment
and work-related learning opportunities. To discover what opportunities
await you, visit the Campus Facility in Joyal, Room 256.
In addition to gaining valuable experience through working or volunteering,
you will have a realistic means to test your career decision, and in some
cases, to earn academic credits (see Students for Community
Service.)
Depending on your interests, goals and financial needs, you might be interested
in accessing services through any one of our undergraduate programs, including
student employment, cooperative education, and community service.
The Career Resource Center provides current information about majors,
careers, trends, course requirements, salaries, and the future outlook.
The Resource Center contains numerous periodicals, books, videos, and publications
with information that will help you select a career. Two computer-assisted
guidance systems are located in the center.
Graduate and Alumni Career Services. The CDES maintains a comprehensive,
full-time Employment Facility located at 1700 E. Bullard, Suite 103, approximately
one mile north of campus.
The Employment Facility offers a wide variety of employment-related services
for graduates and alumni of the CSU system. Career employment can be obtained
from current employment listings, from national, regional, and local organizations
that actively recruit through campus interviews, from job fairs, and job
search on the Internet. The facility also maintains an active program designed
to effectively assist teachers and other education professionals in obtaining
positions at all levels of education.
