The Career Center (CC) office offers a comprehensive career development program beginning with a student`s first year of college. Major emphasis is given to helping students choose and prepare for a career and/or graduate or professional study.

Students can explore career possibilities through individual and group sessions. Focus, a web-based career guidance software program, assists students in analyzing their career choices and provides help in researching careers and in establishing future goals. In addition, interest and personality testing are available to aid in the career decision process.

State-of-the-art hardware, software, and visual media are available to assist students with résumé writing, interviewing strategies, employer/graduate school research, and access to the Internet. Internet access to jobs, internships, and on-campus recruiting is provided online.

Through a variety of workshops, special seminars, large-scale job fairs, and a graduate school fair, students are aided in identifying career goals, developing employment/academic prospects, and implementing a career management plan.

Part-time, summer, and internship experiences enable students to test career choices and gain experience required by the employment community. Rutgers alumni are available, through the Alumni Career Network Program, to provide career assistance and advice to students. While CC does not guarantee job placement, the ongoing job development program and on-campus recruiting program enhance the prospects for employment upon graduation.

CC maintains a Career Resource Center containing information on hundreds of careers, employment opportunities, and graduate school programs.

Students are encouraged to make use of the services offered by CC throughout their college and postcollege careers. The office is located in the lower level of the Camden Campus Center (856/225-6046).
