Whatever your major, your career plan will serve as a strategy for approaching your senior year with marketable skills, knowledge of the working world in general, specific knowledge of careers that interest you, and contacts who can serve as mentors in your search for the job that best suits you. The Carolina Connection also provides information on the backgrounds and career planning advice of alumni in various fields. There are also local, national, and international directories of employers. Also, many resources are available through the UCS Website. UCS's Internship Program serves as a clearinghouse for information on internships and related resources.
Counselors help students find career-related volunteer work and summer jobs.
The Carolina Connection also provides names of alumni with internship leads. The Internship Program has an internship resume referral service to provide employers names of students that meet the employers internship requirements. To register for this Resume Referral Service, students must attend an Internship Orientation Workshop and complete UCS registration online. A handout on resume formats for internships is available at UCS and on the UCS homepage. Individual help writing a resume is also available.
