The office was created specifically to meet the unique needs of UK engineering students and alumni. Our mission is to assist students and alumni with developing job search skills and building career networks, and securing satisfying employment in their field of study. Local, state, national, and even international employers conduct interviews during the fall and spring semesters to interview students and alumni. Career Counseling Services - The UK Career Center in conjunction with the College of Engineering, has established a Career Counselor, dedicated specifically to Engineering students and alumni. Students are encouraged to get to know their counselor during their academic career, and are welcome to meet with their counselor at any time for guidance on job search strategies, interviewing tips, resume critiques, salary information, or general career advice and counseling.
Alumni also enjoy the benefits of the same career related services upon request.
