Is your student ready to explore careers, gain experience through internships and on-campus jobs, or launch a search for opportunities beyond campus? Career & Employment Services (CES) supports your student's goals with comprehensive resources and one-to-one advising. CES helps students navigate how to incorporate all aspects of their identity, as they consider career paths that complement their unique set of interests, skills, strengths, values, and experiences.
Whether they know exactly what they want to do when they graduate, or they’re just beginning to ponder options, CES can help! Career advisors can provide guidance and share resources that will point them in the right direction. Encourage your student to visit ces.pugetsound.edu to schedule an appointment, access career resources, browse a list of on-campus jobs, connect with alumni mentors, and more!
