Career Services
The Career Services Department provides services that are vital to the student’s educational experience. Although the securing of employment cannot be guaranteed, the purpose of the department is to actively assist students in obtaining employment. The Career Services Department offers instruction and guidelines for students and graduates in areas such as career planning and job search techniques, resume writing, interview planning and preparation, understanding the importance of networking, completing job applications, the characteristics of a professional image, interview follow-up, workplace etiquette, and successfully navigating the workplace. Students and graduates are encouraged to work with the Career Services Department to sharpen their interviewing and presentation skills. Successful employment assistance is dependent upon a mutual effort by both graduates and the Career Services Department. Graduates are encouraged to aggressively seek employment opportunities on their own, keep records of their contacts, and inform their Career Services Specialist of these efforts.
These employment assistance services are available to all students who successfully complete the requirements for graduation in their respective programs. Students should recognize that employment opportunities may be limited for any student who does not have a clear background check. Employment assistance services are available on an on-going basis to West Coast University graduates.
