Our goal is to help students develop the skills they need to effectively manage their career. When students register with our office, in addition to having access to all our tools and resources in our career database, they will have access to internship and job postings. Students can also make individual appointments with an advisor to seek assistance in developing their career self-marketing plans, having their résumés and cover letters critiqued, and general career counseling. The only requirements are that students must (a) have a major in Business and be fully admitted into the College of Business as a junior, senior, or master’s level student or (b) be an alumni with a degree from the College of Business.

We are located in the College of Business Complex, CBC 121, in the Modesto Maidique Campus.
