Eight experienced and caring professional staff members help maximize employment connections between students and prospective employers. The Smith Career Center assists students in exploring and defining career options, developing job search strategies, obtaining career-related work experience, and identifying and connecting with prospective employers. Additionally, extensive web-based resources are available to help students learn more about career information, job availability, employer information, and networking. All students must register with the Smith Career Center to activate their CareerConnections web account, submit resumes for the Web Resume Book, review Web job listings, and participate in campus interview. Internships or cooperative education experiences provide opportunities for professional development, which integrate classroom theory with supervised work experience.
Students have a choice of several options to follow.
All the above options correspond with the academic calendar. Also while on a full-time assignment, students may register for additional hours of classroom study upon departmental approval. In order to be referred to an employer or participate in an internship or cooperative education work assignment, students must be attending Bradley University. A work assignment will not be approved retroactively. Over 350 different employers recruit on the Bradley campus each year.
