At this stage we also counsel students on choice of major, and help them link their academic and career interests. Through career counseling, we prepare students to test their career interests and develop new skills through summer employment or internship experiences. We prepare our graduating students for the job search through special career programs. Before classes begin in September we hold a Career Conference for the graduating class that includes orientations, workshops and panel presentations designed to educate students about the job search process. Although a high percentage of these students register with our office during the fall, others will register with us during the winter quarter or at other times of the year.
New candidates enter their resumes into our database every day.
For example, although we counsel students on career and employment decisions, we do not steer students toward or away from particular employers. Nor do we single out particular students to recommend to employers, which would favor some students at the expense of others. A copy of the NACE Principles and Practices may be obtained through the NACE web site or by calling one of the UCS staff. Employers who utilize UCS services are expected to follow the NACE Principles for Employment Professionals .
