Assisting You in Helping Your Students

 "Think of the path our students take to their professional career as a camping trip. Our faculty does an outstanding job of 'filling the students 'backpacks' with the knowledge and practical skills they need to thrive once they reach their destination. At the Career Services Center, we provide the maps and compasses, and serve as guides for students conducting their career exploration." Michael E. Reeves, Former Director, UAA Career Services Center

Help provide guidance to your students in the area of their future career or internship. Register with the Career Services Center Online Job Database to gain access to job and internship postings and to receive periodic email updates about jobs, Career Services events, or employer information sessions. 

The mutual goal of both Career Services and UAA faculty and staff is student success. By working together, faculty, staff, and Career Services can ensure that the transition from student to a member of the work force is as seamless as possible. 

We Help Your Students Find the Right Fit

We help students determine the right career for their interests, career goals, skills, values, and personality. During their academic careers, students return to the Career Services Center to fine-tune essential career development and job-search skills. We are a student's best resource for job outlook, salary, and employment trend information.
 

Some comments from UAA Faculty & Staff after working with staff from Career Services:

"I just want to thank you so very much for coming to our workshops last week. They were really informative and helpful and I hope we can collaborate again next semester."

"I wish to thank you for providing support for Alaska SkillsUSA. I very much appreciate the help you provided with the Job Interview Contest and your continued support of the Auto and Diesel Technology programs at the University of Alaska Anchorage. The event was a huge success this year and I heard many positive comments from the students."

We Know Employers Who Want to Know You

At the Career Services Center, we work directly with employers, who often ask for the contact information of faculty members who could help them to target students in a particular major or discipline. Ideally, employers would like to develop mutually beneficial relationships with faculty and can provide many forms of support. We can facilitate that connection. We also have resources to help faculty understand their ethical and legal responsibilities towards students.

Please see the Resources for Students webpage for a list of all one-on-one appointments that we offer to students.

We also offer tours of Career Services, presentations at department meetings, and individual appointments in order to provide faculty and instructors with a better understanding of our services and facilities. Having this information will allow you to better help your students by making proper referrals and passing on helpful information for their career and vocational benefit.

Many students seek career guidance and assistance from faculty and advisors.Through written publications and individual consultations, we can help you become familiar with career development information, issues, and theories as they relate to the material you present to your students. These may also guide you in meetings with students who bring career concerns to you.
