Experience Through Resources on Campus

Participate in Cooperative Education & Internships

Get involved in career related activities to increase your chances of getting the job you want after graduation, and to gain first hand knowledge of the field. Employers desire entry-level candidates that can make immediate contributions to their organizations. Gain an advantage over other candidates by obtaining experiences and testing the waters in your desired field. Participate in cooperative education or internships to help you solidify your career interests. In addition, consider volunteer and /or community service opportunities in your interest area. Plan early by arranging for a mandatory orientation session.

UA Career Fairs

One way to start investigating different career options is to attend one of the UA Career Fairs. Recruiters from industry, non-profits, government and healthcare agencies are on hand to educate students on the opportunities available and potentially schedule interviews. Specialized fairs for healthcare and education majors are also available. Please check the CCM calendar for specific dates.

If you have never been to a career fair, or if you just want to make sure that you are well-prepared, check out our preparation workshops.
