Berkeley College provides a variety of career development and placement services. Last year 95 percent of all graduates available for placement were employed in positions related to their studies at Berkeley.
Career counseling begins within the first few weeks of school through a program seminar orientation.
Team-taught by placement counselors and Deans, the seminar introduces students to the placement specialists in their major and provides them with an initial forum to explore career opportunities. Individual assistance with resume preparation and job interviewing strategies are an integral part of the educational program, and career fairs, on-campus employer presentations, and field trips are organized on a regular basis. Later in the program, all students are scheduled for Placement Seminar, a course that focuses on exploring career opportunities and the job search. Placement specialists work with students on an individual basis to obtain full-time positions and internships that are best suited to their interests and abilities, scheduling interviews for students in a variety of fields. To encourage a greater understanding of the workplace and make students more attractive to employers, each degree program includes an internship requirement which provides students with work experience related to their majors.
